Americans are so paranoid about their country. They have these irrational feelings of distrust, suspicion, or the belief that Africans won't come back if they're granted American Visas. One of their questions in the Visa interview is: How do we know you'll come back?
Bafana Bafana departed for Mexico without assistant coach Helkman Mkhalele and head of security Mdu Mbatha, who are still waiting for their Visas to be processed by the US Embassy. SAFA President Danny Jordaan has the details.

Goalkeeper coach Ilyes Mzoughi is leaving Kaizer Chiefs as his two-year contract with the Club comes to an end.
Mzoughi has overseen the goalkeeping department for the past two seasons and was part of the technical team that guided the Club to the Nedbank Cup triumph at the end of last season.
Wishing coach Mzoughi all the best in the future.

Carol Tshabalala lands CEO role at iME as she transitions from Sports Broadcasting to Tech Leadership
Renowned South African media personality and sports broadcasting heavyweight Carol Tshabalala has taken a major leap into the corporate technology space after being appointed CEO for Africa at fast-growing video technology company iME, marking a significant career shift from the studio to the boardroom.
The announcement was made by CEO Tandi Potgieter.
"Tshabalala will help drive iMEโs emerging markets strategy by identifying scalable opportunities across media, sport, business, and digital communities, while advancing the companyโs broader vision to create a connected future using video technology."
The appointment places Tshabalala at the forefront of iMEโs continental expansion strategy, where she will be responsible for driving market development, forging strategic partnerships, and overseeing regional execution across key African markets.
iME, a UK-based firm, specialises in video-driven digital solutions, including one-way interview platforms, live streaming, video calling, and content distribution technologies, tools that are increasingly central to business communication, recruitment, and media production in a rapidly digitising global economy.
Tshabalala brings more than two decades of experience in broadcasting, having built a formidable reputation through her work with major platforms such as SuperSport and Premier League Productions, as well as covering global sporting events. Widely known as the โFirst Lady of Sportโ in South Africa, she has been a pioneering figure in African sports media and was notably the first African to host the FIFA Ballon dโOr in 2011.
Her move into a chief executive role reflects a broader trend of media professionals transitioning into leadership positions within the technology and digital communications sectors, particularly as video and streaming platforms continue to reshape industries.

@John_Mphatsoe@DavidMogashoa@GaytonMcK@Cde_Xolani Guys, but why are we even entertaining this thing? Mama Joy's trip should be Safa's problem and not that of the dept. Lord Gayton, please share details about this R700k bill. This is a serious problem now. Sport event managers are told there's no money kgante it went to Fora.
