Safa boss Danny Jordaan shrugs off Bafana visa issues despite Helman Mkhalele still grounded

Bafana Bafana assistant coach Helman Mkhalele did not leave with the team to Mexico due to visa issues.

Safa President Danny Jordaan believes Bafana Bafana have the experience to overcome any travel delays they have encountered ahead of their departure for the Fifa World Cup.

Bafana only departed for Mexico on Monday afternoon after being turned away at OR Tambo International Airport on Sunday because the entire squad and management did not have the necessary visa documentation.

Assistant coach and Bafana legend of the 1998 Fifa World Cup, Helman Mkhalele, is also still in South Africa, having not left with the team on Monday.

According to Jordaan: “We still have to see what issues, which we don't know. We are touching it now. But we hope that that matter [Mkhalele] will be resolved.”
