Johannesburg – The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) did not broadcast the do or die match between Bafana Bafana and Sudan.
The SABC said in a tweet, “The SABC can confirm that the public service broadcaster couldn’t secure the broadcasting rights of the match between the Bafana and Sudan due to the exorbitant costs and as a result this match will not be aired on any of the SABC platforms.”
Fans were left disappointed and took to Twitter to share their views on the troubled broadcaster.

There is a thing called "rights" SABC got exclusive rights. What is DSTV supposed to do. As for African football games, guess they selected based on demand

Typical of a South African who want to survive on freebies. We are a spoiled nation – no further here.
