The South African U17 boys national team‚ Amajimbos‚ will play against Zambia on Sunday in the bronze medal match at the Cosafa Championships currently underway in Mauritius.

This follows Amajombos’ 2-0 loss to tournament hosts Mauritius in the semi-final on Friday in Port Louis.

Reacting to the defeat‚ Amajombos coach Molefi Ntseki admitted that they have a long way to go before reaching their objectives as a team.

“Congratulations to Mauritius‚ they deserve the win. We still have a long way to go before reaching the objective we want. I believe we were more worried about winning the match rather than playing to our strengths‚” he said.

Ntseki added that his players made mistakes but he is hopeful that they will learn from the experience.

“My players made mistakes‚ but it the kind that you expect from their age group. I strongly believe they will learn from all this experience. I am confident the future for our team is very bright.”
