South Africa…2 (Lakay 25’ pen); (Jordan 83’)
Namibia…….…0
A penalty from Fagrie Lakay on the 25th minute and a killer goal by Liam Jordan gave South Africa u20 National Team a 2-0 aggregate win over Namibia to make it to the 3rd round of qualifiers for the CAF African U20 Cup of Nations scheduled for February 2017 in Zambia.
Thabo Senong’s charges only had one thing on their mind which was to get the early goal and the Burger King-sponsored Amajita attacked from the word go, with a shot at goal within the first few seconds of the match.
Amajita penetrated the Namibia throughout the first half and won a penalty in the 25th minute when Lakay was brought down in the box. He stepped up to score with a well taken penalty to put the hosts in a driving seat.
Efforts from Amajita to increase the score did not materialize as at times they were not composed in front of goals.
Liam Jordan came on for Fagrie Lakay in the 75th minute and his presence was immediately felt as he managed to get the killer second goal in the 83rd minute for Amajita.
“I would like to congratulate the boys for the effort they have put into this match. We have had an interesting week in camp with the boys training, studying and writing their exams.
“We could have won this match by at least three of four clear goals but we still have this problem of converting our chances. Today we managed to get the important win because we created chances; we managed to create some beautiful chances and managed to convert the two chances,” said Senong.
Amajita will face the winner between Lesotho / Mozambique in the 3rd round of the CAF Africa u20 Cup of Nations in July 2016.

Former SABC Board member murdered
HARTBEESPOORT – Television and radio personality Hope Zinde was found murdered in the boot of her car at Pecanwood on Saturday afternoon.
According to police on the scene her son, in his mid-twenties, was arrested at the luxurious house in the upmarket estate. It appears that Zinde was murdered on Monday.
A family friend tried unsuccessfully since Wednesday to contact Zinde. He went to her house on Saturday morning to investigate and found Zinde’s son peeping through the curtains, refusing to open the front door.
He then alerted the Pecanwood security and the police. When the police arrived at the house the son opened the front door. The police noticed some blood marks leading from the bathroom to the garage.
Zinde’s body was found in the boot of her Land Cruiser. A bloodied 10 kg weight was found in the bathroom. According to a police spokesperson a large amount of drugs was found in the possession of her son.
Zinde was a non-executive member of the SABC’s board until 2015 when she was asked to resign.
She was unmarried and apparently only had the one son.
