Patrice Motsepe questioned
Journalist Moroccan website SATV.ma reported that AFCON (African Cup of Nations) analysts have revealed that they have doubts about Motsepe's presence at Bafana Bafana matches.
The publication added that Motsepe played in every match for his native South Africa and is accused of influencing the outcome of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Some observers reportedly questioned whether Motsepe's presence affected the performance of referees and VAR officials.
The website also suggests that Motsepe's influence may have led to decisions in favor of the South African national football team.
However, An Arab newspaper reported that he praised the CAF coach's “always present presence in every match”.
