AFCON Molefi Ntseki Has Reacted To His Sacking News

On Wednesday, the South African Football Association (SAFA) held a press confenrence at SAFA House in Nasrec, Johannesburg, to confirm the sacking of Ntseki, Bafana Bafana head coach after South Africa failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations. 

CEO Tebogo Motlanthe told the media that the news was yet to be communicated to Ntseki and his representative. This was due to the fact that  the verdict on his future had only been taken at around 10am on Wednesday. 

According to information received by the Siya crew, Ntseki’s contract with SAFA was due to expire in 2023. 

I am not into any media platform. But my agent called me to say that there was a press conference today. And in the press conference they terminated the contract.” Ntseki told the Siya crew.

He was actually shocked because he saw something in the media platforms. To be honest, we are still consulting and maybe he can help to may give direction.” Ntseki said in response to a question about whether or not they are considering treating his sacking as an unfair dismissal.

As for many other things, I don’t think I will be able to say them now.”

The Siya crew got in touch with Ntseki’s agent, Thato Matuka, and said they are yet to receive communication from the association. 

I don’t know anything. But I am hoping SAFA will come to us. Somebody did tell me that in the press conference they did say that. So hopefully they will come to us. For now I am treating it as rumours. Because it has been said in the media and somebody. But I cannot comment on something that hasn’t been sent to us officially.” Matuka said.
