In related news, Briefly News reported that South Africans reacted impassively to Bafana Bafana's recent heroic's in their 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers group game against Ghana at the FNB Stadium on Monday.
A late strike from Maritzburg United star Bongokuhle Hlongwane ensured the result as the national side climbs to the top of the Group G qualification standings ahead of next year's World Cup tournament in Qatar.
Hugo Broos' charges lead Group G ahead of the Black Stars with four points following a disappointing goalless draw against Zimbabwe in Harare on Friday, 3 September.
As often seen, whenever a senior national team side takes to the field in an important tournament, social media lit up with talk of their performance.
South Africans aired different opinions, some even making predictions on the side's possible passage through the qualifying stages.
