Cabinet has expressed hope that a new Bafana Bafana coach is appointed soon, following the resignation of head coach Joel Santana.
In a media briefing, government spokesperson Themba Maseko, said cabinet hopes that soccer authorities will do their best to ensure that a new coach is appointed soon.
Santana resigned from the national team on Monday, just eight months before the World Cup. He had come under severe criticism after a string of poor results by the national team.
The South African Football Association Vice-President, Mandla Mazibuko, said earlier this week that the association would move with speed to appoint a new coach for Bafana Bafana.
SAFA’s national executive is expected to meet on Friday to discuss Santana’s replacement.
