South African Premier News
There were few positives from Bafana Bafana's three-point FIFA World Cup qualifying points deduction, but being in the centre of the storm taught Teboho Mokoena a lesson about his own, and others', mental health.
Stanley Nwabali and Francis Uzoho are the two main characters in Nigeria's goalkeeping drama, with Amas Obasogie the seeming bystander waiting in the wings to pick up whatever scraps drop from that table.
South Africa secured a scrappy but vital 2-1 win over Angola in Marrakesh on Monday courtesy of Burnley striker Lyle Foster's winner to take the early lead in Group B.
Bafana coach Hugo Broos has stressed the need to start on the front foot against Angola in order to take pressure on South Africa's shoulders ahead of their Boxing Day clash with Egypt in Agadir.
A minority party within South Africa's ruling coalition government have reported Hugo Broos to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) over comments regarding Mbekezeli Mbokazi and his agent, Basia Michaels.
