Bafana Bafana, the South African football team, begins their journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a home game against Benin. Led by Evidence Makgopa, they will compete with teams from countries like Lesotho, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe in group C games. The match will be broadcasted live on SABC1, and Hugo Broos, the head coach of Bafana Bafana, holds a measured optimism regarding their adventure.
The trial of the five men accused of murdering former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa is set to resume at the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on 17 July. This trial has been postponed due to the presiding judge’s illness and suspension.
