Sport Minister Gayton McKenzie is satisfied with the reasons provided by the South African Football Association SAFA for the yellow card administrative blunder that nearly cost Bafana Bafana their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
McKenzie says SAFA has serious financial concerns and the blunder can be attributed to a staff shortage at the association.
The team manager Vincent Tseka who is responsible for the recording of bookings, had reportedly left the venue to get the team ice. As a result, he missed the incident which saw Teboho Mokoena receive a second yellow card.
