Minister of sport Gayton McKenzie says his department will institute a thorough investigation into the incompetence at the South African Football Association Safa that led to Bafana Bafana being docked crucial points in their 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifying campaign.
South Africas hopes of qualifying for the global showpiece suffered a blow when Fifa announced on Monday that Bafana have been docked the three points they earned in a 2-0 victory against Lesotho in March.
In that match in Polokwane, Bafana fielded midfielder Teboho Mokoena, who should have been suspended due to accumulating two yellow cards in previous Group C qualifiers.
