The show of solidarity between Caf president Issa Hayatou and Fifa head Sepp Blatter at the opening of the new Caf headquarters near Cairo is entirely for the cameras.

The platitudes and backslapping are only meant for public consumption, because the fallout from the Fifa presidency election has certainly continued.

First on the Caf side, when they cleaned out all the Blatterites from their committees a couple of months ago.

And on Wednesday, Fifa released their list of different committees - and all those Africans who supported Blatter in his successful re-election bid got places.

People like Farah Addo and others who were very much against Blatter were chopped off.

They're not picking people who have the competence to serve football, but are rewarding their supporters for a job well done - or not well done - during the Fifa election.

There isn't going to be too much debate - which is what African football needs at the moment.

Hayatou's lack of African support at the Fifa election was clearly an indication that he should allow some more transparency and more debate within the halls of Caf.

But what has happened is that he is filling his committees and his advisories with people who are in effect yes-men.

On the other hand the same is true for Blatter.

It has become a rewards system, and that's very disappointing.
