South Africa U21 Overview

The Buccaneers may have already secured the long-term successor to Monnapule Saleng following the star winger's high-profile move to Mamelodi Sundowns earlier this year. Former Amabhakabhaka forward James Mothibi is adamant that the Soweto giants have a ready-made replacement waiting in the wings in the form of teenager Thapelo 'Sugar' Duiker.

Usuthu boss has broken his silence regarding the intensifying rumours linking him with the presidency of the South African Football Association (SAFA). The prominent businessman confirmed he has been tipped to take over the reins at Nasrec but insisted his immediate focus remains in Durban.

The 61-year-old is once again being heavily linked with a return to international management after he emerged as a top candidate for The Eagles. But having just acquired the status of Gauteng Development League team East Rand Athletic FC as part of his football academy project it appears 'Jingles' is more focused on producing future Bafana Bafana stars than coaching current internationals.

Parents and guardians of the stranded children say they contributed money that was supposed to cover flights, food, accommodation and transport.
