Bafana Bafana coach, Gordon Igesund was successfully operated at a Johannesburg Hospital last night.

According to Dr Ephraim Nematswerani who is attending to the national coach, as per initial diagnosis of appendicitis the decision was made to do appendicectomy (operation to remove appendix).

“The operation was successfully done last night and Mr Igesund is feeling very well, he is in good spirits and should be released by the weekend,” said Dr Nematswerani.

Igesund himself said he wanted to thank all South Africans for their support.

“I want to thank all South Africans from all walks of life for the overwhelming support they have shown towards me. I feel very humbled and want to thank each and everyone from the bottom of my heart,” said the coach from his bedside.
