“It’s a matter of courage, the players need to have the heart to win these two games. I believe they (Senegal) are beatable but the question is are the players up for it?
“It’s going to be very tough because they told us after the last game that they will want to prove that they are on top of us,” Mashaba told Sowetan.
Mashaba says the coaches have been blamed unfairly for the national team’s failures.
“There are people who have been running our football for more 20 years and they have achieved nothing because they always make coaches the scapegoat.
“We need to take a hard look at ourselves and honestly ask ourselves where we are going. It’s important that we seriously plan for the future. A nation without a vision will perish,” Mashaba said.
