In front of a sold-out crowd on Tuesday night, Bafana Bafana not only demonstrated their skill on the pitch, but reignited the fervour of South African football fans, a spirit reminiscent of the 2010 World Cup.
The South African mens football senior side closed off their Africa Cup of Nations campaign in fine style as they dazzled their way to a 3-0 victory over minnows South Sudan in front of a capacity crowd at the Cape Town Stadium.
Bafana finished on top of Group K with 14 points, and were unbeaten in their six matches, with Iqraam Rayners, Patrick Maswanganyi and a penalty from Teboho Mokoena sealing the triumph on Tuesday.
Under guidance of head coach Hugo Broos, Bafana have turned the tide against not only their opponents on the pitch, but also with the aura they exude amongst South Africans.
Previously associated with recurring disappointments, Bafana have grown to once again become one of the giants of African football, following their third-place finish in the last Afcon tournament in the Ivory Coast in January.
