Date: 23 July 2016 

Venue: Stade Anjalay

The South African U17 side began their COSAFA Under-17 Championship with a 1-0 win over the Seychelles on Saturday afternoon.

The Seychelles had saw most of the possession in the early stages, but it was South Africa who had the first opening as Andisa Ntuli’s effort from distance sailed just over the crossbar in the fifth minute.

Amajimbos goalkeeper, Glen Tumelo, was called into action three minutes later, as he produced a good save to keep out Mathieu Basset’s free-kick.

The South Africans pushed for an opener and went close after 20 minutes, with Ntuli heading wide, while Sabelo Radebe’s acrobatic volley sailed just wide of the post a few minutes later.

Amajimbos took the lead in the 36th minute, as Ntuli turned home Luke Fleurs’ cross from the flank, 1-0.

That proved to be the final piece of goal-mouth action of the half, as South Africa went into the break one goal up.

Amajimbos carved out a couple openings for Luke Le Roux shortly after the break, but the striker headed over the cross in the 50th minute, before his snapshot sailed just over the bar two minutes later.

Coach Molefi Ntseki opted a for a double change in the 69th minute, as introduced Linamandla Michilizeli and James Monyane come in for Radebe and Pillay.

South Africa carved out another opening in the 82nd minute when Le Roux’s free-kick into the box found Sechaba Mokoena, who headed wide of the upright.

Nonetheless, the score remained 1-0 to Amajimbos who now occupy second spot in Group A, after Namibia defeated Mauritius 3-1 to go top.

South Africa XI: Glen Tumelo, Mswati Mavuso, Luke Fleurs, Sechaba Mokoena, Lethabo Mazibuko, Shinga Nkanyiso, Bonga Dladla, Tyreese Pillay, Sabelo Radebe, Luke Le Roux, Andisa Ntuli.

Subs: Tshepo Mohui, Malesela Langa, Mjabulise Mkhize, Linamandla Michilizeli, Ndamolelo Radzilane, S’miso Bophela, James Monyane.

For six days, a search party went down into the earth’s belly to comb through dark tunnels in an attempt to find a “missing mine worker” who did not want to be found.

While the drama unfolded underground, Implats – the world’s second largest platinum producer after Amplats – had already halted production.

Nothing could be done until the missing employee had been accounted for, leading to a week’s production lost. That is equivalent to approximately 1 000 ounces of platinum worth nearly R16 million, according to Implats spokesperson Johan Theron.
