The South Africans are on the brink of getting eliminated from the Olympic Games after a second loss
Luther Singh missed a penalty for South Africa who went on to surrender their lead three times to fall 4-3 against France in the Olympic Games at Saitama Stadium on Sunday.
Fifa World Cup winner Andre-Pierre Gignac’s treble inspired the French to victory. The experienced striker hit back each time as Kobamelo Kodisang (53th-minute), Evidence Makgopa (73rd), and Teboho Mokoena (82nd) scored for South Africa before Teji Savanier’s stoppage-time goal handed France their first victory in the competition.
South Africa lost 1-0 against hosts Japan in their first game in Group A earlier in the week.
Fans and supporters have taken to their social media accounts where they have shared their reactions to the match.
Well played, I see future for Bafana Bafana.

Most of the guys with this u23 team should be given their chance at Bafana …We can add firepower with Tau ,Zungu,Lorch and few other guys at the back

That’s why Bafana is like This, the problem starts at the bottom, no proper development, you can see other nations do develop players at early age, look at how they execute basics of football.

@prophilani My question 🙋 is, Why in the lower 👇 level like under 23 we can match dis big countries pound 2 pound but wen coming 2 Senior team it’s just walk 🚶 in the park against our Bafana Bafana team?

If I had to pick a Bafana front 4 today it’d be Kodisang, Tau, Singh and Mothiba. Hopefully Kodisang can start playing 1st team footy this season

This should be the core of the Bafana team playing in the qualifiers with Ngcobo/De Reuck/Fleurs/Lebusa in defence and the likes of Tau/Mothiba/Links being added. https://t.co/vBq1nLSvSk

Bafana Bafana got 5 clean sheets in a row in #COSAFACup2021 WITHOUT Ronwen Williams.
The under 23 team conceded 5 goals in two games in #TokyoOlympics all thanks to Ronwen Mavuza Williams.#FRAvsRSA https://t.co/7Gi5DGHPis

If we can replace Williams with Bvuma, we surely have a squad got future Bafana
