SPORT> South Africa sacks coach Mashaba over misconduct

The South Africa Football Association, SAFA, has announced the dismissal from office of national team coach, Shakes Mashaba over allegation of misconduct.

SAFA made public the sacking of the 66-year-old on Thursday through a press statement and on their Twitter handle.

It wrote, “@BafanaBafana coach Shakes Mashaba has been released with immediate effect after being found guilty of misconduct.

“Coach Mashaba has been found guilty of professional misconduct, gross insubordination & violating SAFA’S Comms Policy.

“SAFA has started the process of recruiting a new @BafanaBafana coach.”

The coach was suspended after Bafana beat Senegal 2-1 in a World Cup qualifier in Polokwane last month.

Mashaba confronted SAFA officials including President Danny Jordaan, ahead of his post-match TV interview and accused them of not giving him enough support.
