On the 28th anniversary of South Africa’s first and only success at the Africa Cup of Nations, they again move to the semi-finals after edging out Cape Verde 2-1 on  penalties after a goalless full time and extra time at the Stade Charles Konan Banny de Yamoussoukro.

 

And so, Bafana Bafana are in the semi-finals for the first time since 2000 when they lost to Nigeria at that same stage.

 

Now it’s going to be encore as both Nigeria and South Africa will again clash at the semi-finals. The hero of South Africa’s exploits in the match against Cape Verde was Ronwen Williams who has now had four straight clean sheets and also saved three penalty kicks.
