SOCCER: AFCON QUALIFIERS: Bafana Bafana begin quest to conquer Africa By Yanga Sibembe
South African sports fans should not make the mistake of looking at the recent achievements of the Springbok team and expect Bafana Bafana to replicate the exploits of the Boks.
As it is, nobody expects Bafana Bafana to do such a thing. Africa? Maybe. Possibly. We’re not there, however. Not yet anyway. Speaking after the team had booked their place in the World Cup final, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi said: “The coach had a plan and we had to buy into his plan. And he made it clear that the Springboks are the most important thing.”
He has worked throughout the South African Football Association’s ranks, clawing his way up to the hot seat he currently occupies. Of course, it will not be an easy journey. Especially when it starts with Bafana facing the Black Stars of Ghana, away from home.
