“This move by CAF speaks volumes about South African match officials – as we have always maintained that they are held in high esteem on the continent for the good work they are doing. We are hopeful this will encourage other match officials to work harder to get to this point. We would also like to say thank you to CAF for showing confidence in our match officials. Once again, good luck to Victor and his team.
