South Africa’s sports minister, Gayton McKenzie, said the national team was “made to look like fools,” as it dealt with delays traveling to their World Cup training base in Pachuca, Mexico ahead of the tournament due to visa issues.
"This [South African Football Association] travel and visa debacle is embarrassing and grossly unfair towards the players and coaching staff,” McKenzie posted to X early Sunday. “I have informed SAFA that I need a report, and action must be taken against those responsible for this mess. We are being made to look like fools.”
