Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter has hailed the ongoing Four Nations Tournament Zambia is staging in Ndola at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.

The tournament is also featuring Angola and Zimbabwe

Baxter’s South African side is preparing for Saturday’s final against Zambia after the two teams won their respective semifinal matches on Wednesday.

Zambia reached the final after beating Zimbabwe 5-4 on penalties following a 2-2 draw while South Africa overcame Angola 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 stalemate.

“This tournament is very important. As a coach I want to learn about my players at this tournament and also we want success,” Baxter said.

“I told the media before we left South Africa that it is very important to learn about the young players and those who have not been playing regularly,” he said.

And Baxter said South Africa are ready to face hosts Zambia in the final.

“We are prepared to play against any team,” he said.

  1. Baxter doesn’t know his players up to now? I think he will exit his job badly. He makes too much excuses. Any way, we know our players i hope Wada knows how to use them. and please no penalt shoot outs.. we want a straight win

  2. Wada, kindly don’t play Brian Mwila, instead start with Ernest Mbewe or Emmanuel Banda to inject more creativity in the middle of the park. The idea of playing 2 strikers is ancient, Shonga can play as a false number 9. Quick slick passes are needed and not running with the ball, a case of one Fashion Sakala. This is international football proper and not ma under shinga uko. Not even Messi runs with the ball at international level, and you…. who do you think you are? All the best to Chipolopolo, wishing you well and you have my 100% support. Sasasa!!! Wasanga Baleteya.

  3. Wada please use Alteza early enough. The chap has speed. faster than Usain Bolt may be even lightening. I love that chap. The speed reminds me of Jonestone Bwalya. All the best ba Zambia. If you didn’t with stubborn Zim. You can did it with Lazy Bafana banyana.

  4. Can someone please tell me why Fashion Sakala does not give the ball to his friends instead he lies dribbling, he thinks this is how he will become famous this fellow is dull, why are Zambians like this kanshi even Messi and Ronaldo don’t behave like this, this fellow needs to know that team work pays

  5. I was listening to sports news on SABC and when one Bafana bafana player was asked of what he thought about the final with Zambia, this is what he had to say; ” You know it is always not easy when you travel to Africa and play host team” Travel to Africa? I was under the impression that Bafana Bafana was a team from South Africa, a country in Africa , the same country that produced Jacob Zuma and Malema. No wonder some white fellas still call them Kaffirs.

    • Oh remember when Zambia went to play Morocco some years back? The newspaper head lines were all screaming ZAMBIA FLIES IN FROM AFRICA.

    • You are called a kaffir. Armpit smelling kaffir. Shoprite is selling some cheap roll-on made in RSA. Oh! Don’t forget to ride some escalators with your family.

  6. Football is all about team work I support the guys tht spoke of Ronaldo & Messi style of playing or Wada doesn’t pump sense in this fashion

  7. Wada wada we are behind you Mudala go and conquer this is our soil and ka trophy shouldn’t fly over our heads. Put the right players, right positions and tell fashion not to ran selfishly with the ball. In a pitch we ve got 11 players watching an individual. Fashion is good player.

  8. I have a problem with wada he is using RB formulae where you have to remove old prayers whether good or bad to build his own as a way to make himself
    popular he wants to build his own kingdom no cough if you cough out.I suspect the chap is corrupt that’s why he continues changing players.
    Please urgently replace him without fail or no qualification to afcon and if no qualification then faz executive should resign on moral grounds.
