PE to HOST: Are SAFA sick or WHAT?

Bafana will play Nigeria at a ‘condemned’ venue in Port Elizabeth. SAFA and the Bafana technical team appear to be headed for a collision over the choice of PE as the venue for next week's crucial African Nations Cup qualifier against Nigeria. SAFA CEO Raymond Hack has justified the decision to play the game in PE while hardly explaining the bizarre paradox in the thinking between South African soccer’s controlling body and the PSL. Hack, however, says the PE municipal authorities and those in charge of the PE stadium had given SAFA an undertaking that “everything will be in place on September 6.”
