Attempts were also made to get Sihlangu head Coach Dominic Kunene but his cellphone also rang unanswered. Bafana Bafana enjoy a good record over the nation’s pride having won five of the last six meeting between the two neighbouring nations.
The other encounter ended in a draw. The Dominic Kunene-led outfit will be looking to bounce back to winning ways following their poor run in the 2023 COSAFA Cup.
