Overview
- At a Dec. 10 press conference, Hugo Broos condemned Mbekezeli Mbokazi’s late arrival as unprofessional and used phrases widely criticised as racially suggestive and sexist, including calling the agent a “nice little woman.”
- The United Democratic Movement filed a formal complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission and wrote to SAFA seeking accountability measures, including an investigation and a public apology.
- Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie said he is awaiting responses from SAFA and Broos, noting the comments require clarification because they are open to interpretation.
- Chicago Fire sources told ESPN that Mbokazi is a first‑team signing, contradicting Broos’s suggestion the defender might be bound for the club’s second team.
- SAFA has not announced any disciplinary outcome as Bafana Bafana continue AFCON preparations, with a send‑off held and a Ghana friendly set before traveling to Morocco.
