Bafana Draw AFCON opener
Johannesburg – Tournament debutant Cape Verde dampened South Africa’s spirits at the African Cup of Nations by holding the host to 0-0 in the opening game on Saturday.
Cape Verde defied Bafana Bafana and a big home crowd to earn a draw and a point in its first game at a major tournament.
In persistent rain, Cape Verde even had the best chances, first when Helson Ramos screwed a shot wide of the right post when clear in the area in the 15th minute. Ramos then forced Itumeleng Khune into a scrambling save with his diving header in the 72nd.
South Africa’s lackluster form continued under coach Gordon Igesund and underlined doubts the host would make any impact at its African Cup.

Matsatsatsa are full of ego and overrates themselves. i knew this will be the result or sasasa was to lose.
South Africa has failed to win a game the last two AFCON they have contested in.
The failed to qualify to the last two edition. This one they did by virtue of HOSTING it. RSA willstruggle against Angola and will lose to Morroco

No fate for South Africa.
This fora has no updates, no news for weeks, come on Tumfweko obviously you can do better than this.
Too much stories from Zimbabwe full of immoralities. Sikiriti kumbedi. Hope you can improve only if you focus.
Good luck in your reporting.
