Unlike the Springboks or UFC champion Dricus du Plessis, Bafana Bafana received a very different welcome at OR Tambo. The national soccer team was greeted by a large crowd of members of the EFF party, including leader Julius Malema.
The team returned from their stint at the Afcon tournament in Ivory Coast, where they won a bronze medal for third place.
