Bafana not affected by SAA strike

Bafana Bafana are not stranded in Ghana because of the ongoing striker by the South African Airways cabin crew.


The South African national team is sponsored by the airline company and there were concerns that the workers’ strike that started on Friday morning would affect Bafana Bafana, but that is not the case.

“Ready to fly back home. Bafana Bafana at the airport in Accra about to board, expected to land at 17h25,” read a statement from the Bafana twitter account.

Coach Molefi Ntseki’s men lost 2-0 to Ghana in the Cape Coast on Thursday night for their opening Afcon qualifier group match.

Bafana Bafana will now play against Sudan in their second game of the qualifiers at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Sunday.
