SAFA deny BFA talks on Bafana friendly
The South African football authorities have denied engaging their Botswana counterparts to organise an international friendly game. South African Football Association (SAFA) chief operations officer, Albert Mokoena said yesterday: “We’ve never been engaged in talks with Botswana, besides our schedule is congested”. He said their focus is in their international friendly game against Tunisia on August 18. Mokoena’s comments come after Botswana Football Association (BFA) president David Fani said last week that they were in negotiations with SAFA to get the Botswana Zebras to play Bafana Bafana.

Campaigning for the leadership are former Notwane Manager Philip Makgalemele and the incumbent BFA president David Fani.
