The South African Under-17 men’s national team’s fate is no longer in their own hands after suffering a defeat to the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria in a crucial 2023 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations group match at the Stade Mohamed Hamlaoui on Saturday evening.
Coach Duncan Crowie’s young side took the lead in the early first half through Vicky Mkhawana who made it three goals in two matches [he scored two goals against Zambia.
The resilient Nigerian side responded with a goal in the 34th minute to bring the game level. However, teenage sensation Siyabonga Mabena regained the lead for Amajimbos and South Africa went to the break leading the match.
Nigeria proved that group B was truly the group of death as many predicted when Light Eke opened the second half with a goal to bring the team level yet again.
Then Idris Abdullahi’s 64th minute strike put Nigeria ahead and the goal was enough to seal the victory for the West Africans and book a place in the quarterfinals of the continental competition.
Man of the match Mabena was happy with his accolade but disappointed with the results that did not go in his team’sfavour.
“I feel happy to be man of the match but this is the results we were not expecting as a team, we wanted to win it,” said Mabena.
The player further added that he still believes there is a bright future for him and his teammates despite the results against Nigeria.
“I think if we can grow together as a team, we can win some tournaments and qualify for the World Cup. It may not be the U17s but maybe in the U20s but we have talented players.”
Amajimbos will have to wait for the Group C encounter between Burkina Faso and Cameroon to see if they will progress to the next stage of the competition or not.

The ANC ward councillor in Kanana Township, near Orkney has been arrested for two counts of statutory rape. Tebogo Sepale (40) is also facing crimen injuria case.
This week, Sepale was allegedly seen engaged in sexual intercourse with a boy in a video that went viral on various social media platforms. Also, pictures depicting his facing were circulated on social media platforms, where a boy was allegedly seen sucking his manhood.
The North West police spokesperson, Brig Sabata Mokgwabone said: “The Klerksdorp Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit is investigating a case of crimen injuria and two separate counts of statutory rape. The cases were registered at Kanana Police Station respectively.
“In the crimen injuria case, which was registered on 5 May 2023, the suspect allegedly shared a nude picture of his private parts with the complainant. In the second and separate case, but involving the same suspect, two counts of statutory rapes were laid on 6 May 2023, by the parents of two boys, both aged 15.”
Mokgwabone further urged the public to refrain from re-circulating the video. He added that the investigation into the incidents continues and the suspect is expected to appear before the court soon.
“The members of the community and civil society organisations are requested to exercise patience and allow the police to conduct investigations.
“In the meantime, we are not aware of allegations that the police refused to assist the complainant in the crimen injuria case. Thus, we request those who are making allegations to lodge a formal complaint for investigation,” said Mokgwabone.

Meanwhile, the ANC in the North West said it has noted with shock a video of one of its public representatives engaged in a sexual act. The ANC provincial secretary, Louis Diremelo said, they have received a number of complaints from various women against the said public representative.
“We are also aware that one of his victims has opened a case against him with law enforcement agencies. So, rising from this despicable behaviour, the ANC has suspended the membership of Sepale with immediate effect.
“Therefore, he will not be allowed to participate in any ANC activities. This suspension will hold until the outcomes of the disciplinary process. Sepale is suspended in terms of Rule 25.17.4 of the Constitution of the ANC,” Diremelo said.
He said this type of behaviour goes against their values and commitment to building a cohesive society, in which all people are treated with respect and dignity. Diremelo said, therefore, the ANC will not stand idle when such tendencies rear their ugly face.
“We will act immediately and swiftly to root out such behaviour. As ANC, we convey our sympathies to the victims of this act and call on those who have not come forward, to do so.
“We further apologise to all members of society and assure them that this act goes against our values,” he said.

North West MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Desbo Mohono urged bidders of tender number 13 DARD 017/2022 (1) to be wary of scammers. According to Mohono, the tender in question is for the provision of security services at the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Office for a period of 36 months.
“It has come to the attention of the department that some bidders are contacted by fraudsters disguised as officials from the Security Services Management Unit of the department and promising unsuspecting bidders that they will be awarded a security tender.
“The scam involves the fraudsters using a fake e-mail address to contact these unsuspecting suppliers to ask for an upfront fee and falsely claiming that their appointment for this tender will be fast-tracked. These correspondence and e-mail addresses are crafted so that they are made to look like they originate from the North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Department,” she said.
Mohono further said, her department will never send an email or phone service providers and ask them to pay a fee before they can get a tender or any business. She appealed to all service providers to be careful of these fraudulent activities coordinated by unscrupulous and faceless people.
“It is a scam and we request all DARD stakeholders that have received this fraudulent e-mail or any other form of communique from these fraudsters to report the matter urgently to the law enforcement agencies without hesitation and to inform the department of such activities,” said Mohono.
A policeman (40) was arrested for possession of suspected stolen goods in Kanana Township, near Orkney on Friday. The North West police spokesperson, Brig Sabata Mokgwabone said, the policeman who is a sergeant and attached to the Provincial Anti-Corruption Investigation Unit (ACIU) was arrested at Orkney Police Station.
“The arrest came after the crime intelligence-driven operation recovered a car that was allegedly hijacked in Kanana Township last month. The said car was found in a garage at Extension 21, Jouberton Township, near Klerksdorp.
“However, the suspect was not at home and a follow-up was made on Friday. The suspect and the sergeant allegedly called the complainant respectively and indicated their intention to give back the hijacked car key to him (the complainant) provided he withdraws the case,” Mokgwabone said.
He said, the suspects are expected to appear in the Orkney Magistrate’s Court on Monday for defeating the ends of justice and possession of suspected stolen goods.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena commended all the South African Police (SAPS) units and members including Crime Intelligence for ensuring the arrest of their own unethical employees for involvement in criminal activities. Kwena reiterated that dishonesty by employees will not be tolerated as that tarnishes the image of the service.

A 38-YEAR-OLD man was arrested for contravention of Section 2(1) of the Counterfeit Goods Act, 1997 (Act No. 37 of 1997) in Vryburg. The North West police spokesperson, Capt Afje Botma said, the accused was arrested by the Vryburg K9 Unit in conjunction with the South African Revenue Services (SARS), the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) officials during a crime intelligence-driven operation.
“The police executed a search and seizure warrant at an identified warehouse, where liquor products were destined for export but instead, sold within the South African market for a reduced price. Consequently, a large consignment of different kinds of liquor was found in the warehouse.
“The investigation led to the discovery of a server network used for Bitcoin investment and 15 electricity inverters. It was further established that, some authentic labels on the bottles were removed and replaced with counterfeit labels to avoid the detection of an export product,” Botma.
She said, the police also identified 828 x 750ml and 24 x 1 litres bottles of Richelieu brandy, which were allegedly stolen during a business robbery in Germiston, Gauteng Province. Botma added that all liquor products with an estimated value of R5.4 million were seized.
“The investigation into the matter by the DPCI continues. The accused appeared at Vryburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday and the case was postponed to 8 May 2023,” she said.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena lauded all officials for their collaborative efforts that led to the success.
