Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Zizi Kodwa has congratulated South Africa’s Bafana Bafana for winning their match against Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
Bafana Bafana beat Morocco 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament at Stade Laurent Pokou in Ivory Coast on Tuesday night.
“What a fantastic performance by Bafana Bafana. This win shows what our national teams can achieve with the support of South Africans. Let us continue to support Bafana Bafana as they march to the AFCON 2023 quarterfinals,” the Minister said.
The South African Football Association (SAFA) said during the match, which was viewed by the whole world, the South African senior men’s team held their composure to put up a solid display that knocked out tournament favourites Morocco.
“South Africa senior national star Evidence Makgopa and Teboho Mokoena scored in the second half to hand Bafana Bafana a win and a place in the quarterfinal where they will face Cape Verde on Saturday,” SAFA said.
