[AFCON 2002 STORY] President Mbeki tells a beautiful story on how the South African government carried the burden of ensuring that Mali hosts a successful AFCON tournament in 2002 at the request of President Alpha Konaré. Zizi initially advised Konaré to inform CAF that Mali can’t host that AFCON due to lack of logistical resources, but Konaré told President Mbeki that “he can’t talk about African Renaissance while failing to help Mali host a successful AFCON.”
The South African government carried that burden by organising healthcare, transport and telecommunications services, and as they say. The rest is history, Mali hosted a successful AFCON and Cameroon beat Senegal in that final.
