The South African is hoping to succeed the suspended president in next month's election. Sexwale told Sky Sports News that Blatter's financial dealings need to be put into context.


"His work is a monument that stands for itself - that mountain cannot be moved. Of course, what is bad is bad. It's about football. Football is a beautiful game in sports but there are rules and I'm sure these leaders would recognize that," he said.
