JOHANNESBURG — FIFA has written to the South African government warning it against a judicial inquiry into the recent soccer match-fixing scandals, saying the matter should rather be handled by the country's football association. Several of South Africa's warm-ups before it hosted the 2010 World Cup were found to have been fixed, which led to the brief suspension of senior South African Football Association (SAFA) officials, including its president Kirsten Nematandani. South Africa's Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) recommended a judicial commission of inquiry but FIFA warned them of consequences should the govt be seen to be intervening in football matters. — Reuters
