In the latest twist in the ongoing saga involving Bafana Bafana midfielder Mokoena, McKenzie has lifted the pressure off the organisation, which many have deemed contentious.
The move has raised eyebrows across the sporting community, as Safa produced a calculated ‘icebreaker; one that some critics argue allows Safa to escape scrutiny without addressing the underlying issues.
The yellow card debacle, which saw Bafana Bafana docked three points by Fifa, was primarily attributed to team manager Vincent Tseka’s oversight. He failed to record that Mokoena had received two yellow cards and allowed him to play against Lesotho in March, with significant consequences for the team’s qualification hopes.
