Celebrations continue after Bafana Bafana qualifies for AFCON - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

It was a team under pressure, but Bafana managed to qualify for only two of the last five editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. And in 2013 when they qualified as hosts, they were knocked out in the quarter-final on home soil.

“We knew that to get the tactical game plan right and have the nerve to execute it that’s a difficult task when people have always accused Bafana of not being able to succeed in those circumstances. I thought the players first of all showed a lot of character,” says Baxter. South Africa finished as runners-up to Nigeria in the group with 12 points, with three wins and three draws.

My biggest worry is that BafanaBafana probably think they’ve won the afcon already and they would go on vacation in Egypt 🇪🇬

We celebrating as if we were in 96 again .. SA should be a sure thing to qualify everytime .. i remember the days when we were shocked when we didnt qualify
