That is the sober analysis of Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki reacting to his team’s draw in the Fifa World Cup qualifiers. It’s almost been 17 years since Bafana qualified for the global showpiece via a successful qualification process, having competed in the 2010 spectacle as hosts.
Since then, though, two additional World Cup tournaments - in Brazil and Russia - have come and gone with Bafana failing to book their ticket to either event under Steve Komphela, Pitso Mosimane and Gordon Igesund in 2014 and Stuart Baxter in 2018. But following the resignation of the latter, Ntseki, who had assisted a number of his predecessors, took over the reins, and he is now faced with the mammoth task of guiding the national team back to the World Cup.
However to achieve this they will have to finish top of Group F, where they are grouped alongside Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Ghana in the penultimate round of the qualifiers.

Lindiwe Mazibuko on man leaving SA for New Zealand - 'my parents wish you well'“My parents who spent their whole working lives paying taxes under apartheid so you could enjoy protection from police that either ignored or brutalised us, wish you well for your new life.” That's a stupid thing to say. Does she even look at the racial statistics of expats? It's not such a white stream anymore. 50 murders a day is worse than most warzones. It's not not a racial thing, unless she wants to suggest that whites have a special duty to remain and endure. Its not hard to use the google machine to get info on her parents. Born to mixed parents in Swaziland.... I dont think her parents payed tax under apartheid. Strange turn for her
