AFCON 2019 PREVIEW WITH EX BAFANA BAFANA STARS<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Bafana Bafana’s Afcon 2019 campaign kicks off against Ivory Coast on 24 June. Thereafter they face Namibia and Morocco in further Group D fixtures.<\/h4>\n

South Africa are still chasing a repeat of their 1996 title glory, which was\u00a0their first tournament after readmission.<\/h4>\n

So, where have Bafana gone wrong in the last 23 years and how far can they progress this time? Writer Leonard Solms spoke to former national team striker Pollen Ndlanya in an exclusive interview, whilst he also chatted to ex-South Africa goalkeeper Rowen Fern\u00e1ndez.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Ndlanya played in the 1998 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) where the heavily unfancied Bafana reach a second successive final. A commendable achievement despite their 2-0 loss to Egypt. The former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates frontman is reluctant at first to offer answers on where South Africa have misstepped since. However, he wastes no time sharing an opinion on what they got right in the past.<\/h4>\n

“It’s all about individual talent and being passionate about what you’re doing, you know? Because those days, we didn’t have money. We were just playing for the love of it.”<\/h4>\n
