After the entire nation was up in arms calling on the South African Football Association to launch a complaint against the officiating during their crucial World Cup qualifier game against Ghana

SAFA has finally broken the silence on the matter and they have made their intention very clear, they are not prepared to just let this go without fighting.

The Senegalese referee Maguette Ndiaye and his colleagues Samba Elhadji Malick (assistant I), Camara Djibril (assistant II) and Gueye Daouda (fourth referee) were making some shocking calls which most of them were against Bafana Bafana, including the dubious penalty that sent Ghana through to the play-offs, and SAFA have revealed that they are suspecting match fixing.

According to timeslive.co.za, SAFA CEO Tebogo Motlanthe has confirmed that they have escalated the matter to the Federation of International Football to launch an investigation as they suspect that there has been match fixing, he also added that they are proud of how the boys played, he applauded the technical team for the good work they did to get Bafana to that position.

“We suspect the game was fixed and our position is that it must be investigated. The conduct of the match officials left much to be desired and we want both Caf and Fifa to investigate. We salute the boys and the technical team for the good work they have done,” Motlanthe said.

After being on top of the group throughout the entire qualifiers, Bafana Bafana were dethrone from the top spot on Sunday when they lost their first game to Ghana, they could not go to the play-offs since the Ghananians had a better goal difference than South Africa, but SAFA is not happy about the officiating, they have taken the matter to FIFA, the entire nation is hoping for a reply, hoping that Bafana will at least come out of the game with a draw and go through.
