Kagiso Malinga scores winner as Bafana begin Cosafa Cup campaign with win over Botswana Mihlali Baleka © Provided by Independent Online (IOL) JOHANNESBURG – It wasn’t pretty, despite some eye-catching passing. But Bafana Bafana will take some positives from their Cosafa Cup opening performance after defeating neighbours Botswana 1-0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium yesterday. In the opening game of the tournament in Gqeberha, Eswatini defeated neighbours Lesotho 3-1 as they climbed to pole position in Group A. But a solo Bafana goal game against Botswana ensured that the hosting nation started on a high note as well. Bafana are yet to recover from their epic failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations next year. But by winning the Cosafa Cup, they would show their intentions of turning over a new leaf. But their restructuring phase hasn’t had a smooth start.
