South Africa’s clash against Morocco in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) was one in which emotions ran high. And even though it’s been days since the clash, the event is still being discussed across the Rainbow Nation.
South Africa was considered the underdog at the beginning of the game. But Bafana Bafana stunned many by not only showing great courage but by beating the Moroccans as well.
The Moroccans had lost a penalty, which South Africans celebrated. But it appeared some Moroccan journalists would rather South Africans didn’t celebrate the missing of the penalty – not so loudly, perhaps.
Well, Mzansi was having none of such restrictions, as exemplified in how Bafana Bafana’s team manager Vincent Tseka reacted to the attempt to silence the South African side. Taking to his X account, he made it clear that the South African side refused to be bullied by Moroccan journalists who didn’t want them to celebrate the Moroccan team missing a penalty.

By the way, South Africa went ahead to beat Cape Verde. In the clash against Nigeria, though, Bafana lost, which means they will now fight for third position in the African Cup of Nations.
