President Jacob Zuma says Bafana Bafana has been underperforming because soccer bosses have made the fundamental mistake of repeatedly changing coaches.

Zuma and African National Congress Youth League leader Julius Malema spoke at a fundraising dinner in Johannesburg last night.

Those among the guests where athletics World Championship medallists Caster Semenya, Khotso Mokoena and Mbulaeni Mulaudzi were honoured.

Zuma says the team needs a change in tactics.

Regarding Semenya’s gender testing case, Malema said he would campaign for her to be allowed to compete as a woman.
