    Surely, the timing is highly questionable. This needs to be investigated.

    There is nothing fishy here, Mali needs the money because of the current war situation in their country. RSA has a duty to help fellow African brothers to help bring peace and stability in the continent.

    Lutho, this was just a coincidence, benifuna iphiwe bani leyo mali? Military/political issues are separate from soccer games in South africa. So editor, don't mix your Zim political experience w Sa. Maphisa was just helping this serious situation, l see no foul play
