16 May 2002
On the eve of the departure of the South African National Soccer Team, Bafana Bafana, for the 2002 Soccer World Cup, the South African Communist Party (SACP) wishes Bafana Bafana's national coach, Jomo Sono, all 23 players and the entire team well.
Football is overwhelmingly supported by poor and working people. Together with other African national teams, Bafana Bafana carry the hopes of South Africa and the African continent. We call on all South Africans to stand behind the team and other African national teams throughout this campaign.
Bafana's good performance in this World Cup will contribute to the development of football in our country and continent.
