3 weeks to go before the start of the World Cup, South Africa is facing an internal conflict. The Bayana Bayana are refusing to start preparations until the issue of bonuses has been resolved. This immediately caught the attention of the South African Minister of Sport, Zizi Kodwa. The leader has even scheduled a meeting with the country's players' union (SAFPU). I will be meeting with the SAFPU on Tuesday to hear the serious concerns expressed by the team," he said in a statement on Sunday.
