IBafana Bafana iza kuswantsulisana nelizwe laseMali emdlalweni weNelson Mandela Challenge okulindeleke ubeshushu eNelson Mandela Bay Stadium ngentsimbi yesithathu emalanga ngeCawe. Umqeqeshi weBafana Bafana, uMolefi Ntseki, uhlabe ikhwelo eluntwini ngelithi mabeze ebaleni bazo kuxhasa iqela labo emdlalweni ongempelaveki. Amalungiselelo weqela lesizwe akahambi kakuhle ngenxa yokonzakala yentaphane yabadlali. UBongani Zungu noThamsanqa Mkhize ngabanye babadlali abakhululweyo ngenxa yokonzakala. Kanti abadlali abafana noPercy Tau, uErick Mathoho, uDean Furman noRonwen Williams akukaqinisekwa ncam ngokuphila kwabo. 
  Kodwa nangona kunjalo, uNtseki uqhubela phambili nokusebenza nabadlali abakhoyo kwaye uthi ufuna iqela lakhe liphumelele ngeCawe. UMzantsi Afrika uza kufumana umdlalo wokuqala oko kuthe kwaqeshwa uNtseki endaweni kaStuart Baxter emva kokuba iZambia neMadagascar zigqibe kwelokuba zingadlali nawo ngenxa yokuhlaselwa kwabantu bamanye amazwe okwenzeke eGoli kwinyanga ephelileyo. UNtseki uthi ufuna ukusondeza iqela lesizwe ebantwini emva kokukwaywa kwalo ngabantu abaninzi ngenxa yokungakwazi ukuqhuba kakuhle kwiitumente ezinkulu. “Kubalulekile ukusondeza iqela lesizwe ebantwini ngoba lelethu sonke. Ukusondela ebantwini yeyona nto efunekayo ukuze bakwazi ukulixhasa iqela. Sisondela emidlalweni ehlakulela iAFCON 2021, inkxaso yabantu ibalulekile. Ndiyabacela abantu beze ebaleni bazo kusibukela naxa sizilolonga,” utshilo uNtseki ethetha neentatheli.
