South Africa Headlines News

Mauritius have belatedly followed the lead of South Africa and withdrawn from the on-going Futsal Africa Cup of Nations that is being staged in Laayoune in the disputed region of Western Sahara.

The Mauritians played their opener in the competition on Tuesday and lost 4-2 to Equatorial Guinea‚ but have now been ordered home by the country’s Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth mid-tournament.

Several attempts to seek comment from the MFA and team manager Arjen Arumugum in Laayoune proved fruitless on Thursday as they failed to respond to queries. However‚ the people of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic claim the area to be their own‚ and that Morocco is occupying their land illegally.
