The president of the South African Football Association (SAFA), Danny Jordaan, revealed that Bafana Bafana players will get R7-million if they win the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
The association's management – represented by Jordaan, his deputy Bennet Bailey, CEO Lydia Monyepao and head of delegation for the tournament David Molwantwa – met with the players on Sunday in Stellenbosch to sign a memorandum of agreement.
The players were represented by captain Ronwen Williams, Percy Tau, Siyanda Xulu, Veli Mothwa and Themba Zwane. "I am here to make sure that every box has been ticked, there is nothing outstanding and everything is in place for them to focus on football, deliver on football and give us the kind of performances that will make the nation to take a deep breath and say, 'We have a team'", Jordaan told SAFA media."We have to get the team to focus.
We have to clear everything. If they win, they get R7-million. If they lose, they get nothing. We want the team to focus and to perform.
