I have been told there were problems in the past and we intervened. It is not just in football, but in business and politics too. We cannot give our children the perception that if you want to succeed in life, be corrupt. There has to be zero tolerance (for corruption).

That's the best gift we can give football inAfrica. Not just talking about corruption, but intervene, put the necessary laws (in place) and implement them.

Motsepewould not be drawn on the matter betweenSenegaland Morocco which is now in front of the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

There is nothing I can tell you that I haven't said already 10, 15, 20 times. You can ask me the same question 100 times, I'll give you the same answer 100 times. I have an obligation to respect that the matter is now in front of the highest (sports) court in the world.

Motsepequashed any suggestion that Morocco had been treated favourably in the appeal process.
