South African football is in dire need of a tactical mastermind to lift the national team, Bafana Bafana, out of their continuous slump and lead them to triumph once more. The recent loss to Rwanda highlights the urgent need for a complete restructuring of the South African Football Association and immediate action. A leadership change, youth development, and coach replacement are necessary to revive Bafana Bafana, and taking cues from the successful strategies of South African Rugby, particularly from Rassie Erasmus, could be the way forward. The responsibility rests with those willing to take control and guide South African football back to its heyday.
