Bafana Bafana has just come off the back of an unbeaten run with a goalless draw against Namibia and a 1-0 victory against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The goalless draw brings a concerning thought into the minds of local supporters, which is how lackluster the team looked against a lower-ranked nation in Namibia. The performance against the DRC proved that we have the potential to...

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos finds himself in hot water after his somewhat unnecessary comment directed towards Kaizer Chiefs players and the club as a whole.

Riviero also helped Pirates to claim...
