Bafana Bafana visa fallout: ‘SAFA must justify its existence’
The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture has demanded accountability from the South African Football Association (SAFA) following the visa delays that disrupted Bafana Bafana’s departure to FIFA World Cup 2026.
Deputy Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Peace Mabe, said SAFA management would have to explain how the situation unfolded after the national team’s travel plans were thrown into uncertainty at the last minute.

Forced to delay departure
Bafana Bafana were scheduled to depart for Mexico on Sunday as part of their preparations for the World Cup, which kicks off later this month in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
However, visa-related issues forced the team to delay their departure until Monday.
The delay sparked widespread criticism and concern, with questions raised about the administrative processes leading up to one of the biggest tournaments in South African football history.
Speaking on the matter, Mabe said government was awaiting a formal report from SAFA and stressed that those responsible would need to account for the embarrassment caused.
“SAFA management must account. They must justify their existence. If we’re not going to do that, then we are heading for big trouble and more embarrassment,” Mabe said.
She warned that a lack of accountability would only encourage similar mistakes in the future.
“If people commit mistakes and are not held accountable, they continue because they know it’s Christmas,” she said.
Hide behind status as independent sporting body
Mabe also criticised what she described as SAFA’s tendency to hide behind its status as an independent sporting body whenever issues arise.
“Some laws and policies protect SAFA. They’re an independent body from the government. So they continue to use that as a scapegoat,” she said.
The Deputy Minister indicated that government would take a firmer stance once the association’s report is received, suggesting that any future engagement with SAFA could be conducted in full public view.
“But this time around, we will have to, even if it means that our meeting with them should be live on television, it has to be like that,” she added.
Resolved
The visa complications were eventually resolved, allowing the players to travel to North America, where Bafana Bafana will continue their preparations ahead of their opening World Cup fixture against Mexico on Thursday, 11 June.
The South African Football Association has not yet publicly responded to Mabe’s remarks, but the governing body is expected to provide a detailed explanation regarding the delays.

Report: Sipho Mbule leaves Orlando Pirates, Siwelele to pounce?
Orlando Pirates have reportedly parted ways with midfielder Sipho Mbule after just one season.
The 28-year-old joined the Buccaneers in July 2025 on a free transfer after his contract with Mamelodi Sundowns expired.
Despite early promise, Mbule did not live up to the hype and was benched for much of the second half of the season.
He played 23 matches across all competitions for the Sea Robbers, scoring only once.
Having lost his place in the Bafana Bafana squad after 2025 AFCON, there were speculations on the midfielder’s future at Pirates. Reports indicated that the player may have had a fallout with Bucs head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
On Tuesday, FARPost confirmed that Mbule was no longer contracted with Pirates.
“A source close to the situation has confirmed that Pirates have informed Mbule of their decision not to extend his stay at the club. However, the talented midfielder is unlikely to be short of suitors ahead of the new season,” the publication wrote.
The publication also linked him with a move to Siwelele.
Mbule made a name for himself at SuperSport United, where he spent five years before making a big move to Mamelodi Sundowns in 2022.
Mbule a free agent after leaving Pirates
At Sundowns, he won the league twice but off-the-field issues derailed his career and he was sent on loan to Sekhukhune United, where he also had discipline issues.
At Pirates, it seemed Mbule was making the most of his second chance and played an instrumental role in the Buccaneers winning the MTN8 as well as the Carling Knockout. His biggest impact however was at Bafana Bafana helping them qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Do you think Pirates made a mistake?
Préparation Coupe du Monde 2026 : la Belgique s’offre un succès en Croatie
Bonne opération pour les Diables Rouges. En déplacement au Stadion HNK Rijeka Dean Sculac ce mardi, la Belgique s’est offert une victoire de prestige face à la Croatie.
Les hommes de Rudi Garcia l’ont emporté 0-2 grâce à Youri Tielemans et Romelu Lukaku. Un résultat qui rassure pour cette première sortie de préparation à la Coupe du monde 2026, tandis que la Croatie devra réagir vite.
Tielemans lance les Diables
Face à la Croatie, 11e nation mondiale et finaliste en 2018, la Belgique a fait le dos rond puis a frappé au bon moment. C’est Youri Tielemans qui a débloqué la situation à la 38e minute. Le milieu d’Aston Villa a profité d’une ouverture pour donner l’avantage aux Belges avant la pause. Un but qui a mis les poulains de Rudi Garcia dans les meilleures conditions à Rijeka.
Lukaku, le coup de grâce en fin de match
Les Croates ont poussé en seconde période mais sont tombés sur une défense belge solide. Et dans les arrêts de jeu, Romelu Lukaku a achevé le travail. A la 90+6, l’attaquant a crucifié la Croatie d’un somptueux lob. Froid et clinique, il a offert le 0-2 aux Diables Rouges et signé un but qui fait plaisir à voir. De quoi aborder la suite avec confiance.
La Croatie doit se reprendre vite
Côté croate, la défaite fait mal pour une entrée en matière. Battue 0-2 à domicile par la Belgique, la sélection de Modric manque de repères dans cette préparation. La Croatie de son côté doit se reprendre vite pour ne pas prendre de retard dans sa montée en puissance vers le mondial 2026. Les prochaines sorties seront cruciales pour retrouver de l’allant et des certitudes avant les qualifications.
