Clik here to view. SAFA has fired Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba with immediate effect.
Mashaba was dismissed after being found guilty of 'gross misconduct, insubordination and violating SAFA's communications policy' at a disciplinary hearing which took place over five days this month.
Shakes was previously indefinitely suspended from his coaching duties on 13 November following a tirade aimed at the SAFA hierarchy after Bafana's 2-1 win over Senegal in a World Cup qualifier.
“It is regrettable that we had to face the events of the past month at a time when the national team is experiencing a resurgence in its quest to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup,” said SAFA CEO Dennis Mumble, who recently shot down reports linking ex-Ajax Cape Town coach Roger de Sa with the Bafana job.
“Due to the seriousness of the coach’s actions, we had to release our head coach with immediate effect. We shall immediately institute a search for a new head coach familiar with African football competitions who will be expected to continue the quest to qualify for the world’s apex football competition. We ask all supporters to continue to support Bafana Bafana.”
SAFA released a statement yesterday morning which reads: “Following the unfortunate incidents that occurred in Polokwane on Saturday, 12 November 2016, after the match between Bafana Bafana and Senegal, the South African Football Association (SAFA) placed head coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba on suspension pending a disciplinary hearing.
“The hearing took place over five days in December and was chaired by an independent legal expert who is an advocate of the High Court.
“Following extensive deliberations, the chairman of the hearing concluded that the coach was guilty of the three charges levelled against him: Gross misconduct/professional misconduct, gross insubordination/professional misconduct and violation of the SAFA communications policy.
“The association will urgently consult its internal structures for the purpose of finding a replacement as soon as possible.”
