I think my colour is a problem, says Bafana Bafana's Shakes Mashaba

...

A first-round exit from the Afcon in Equatorial Guinea in January has been followed by Bafana falling at the first hurdle in a tournament Mashaba had identified as important to win if they were to make an impact on the continent. Naturally, the two failures have raised doubts about his suitability for the job and spelt the end of Mashaba’s honeymoon period.

The coach’s last line of defence was that such questions are because of race.

"I understand — it goes with agendas. I want to repeat today, we had a World Cup-winning coach (Carlos Parreira). We went the same route. I’ve never heard the question, ‘Is he the right coach or not’?" Mashaba said at the post-match press conference.

"He came and he went. I’m going to be rude — I think my colour is a problem here. That’s what I’m going to say."
