Reportedly, the Indomitable Lions did not get a good reception from their hosts in Mzansi.
They arrived late at the OR Tambo International Airport a day before the match, which led to the cancellation of the connecting flight to Nelspruit.
Cameroon had no option but to take the bus from Johannesburg to Nelspruit, a journey that took four hours, and arrived at the hotel around 4 am, merely hours before the game.
The Red Devils' custodian, Andre Onana, was unhappy with the whole situation and felt pity for the likes of new call-ups Danny Namaso and Nathan Ngoumou.
