Trailing Keagan Dolly’s opener mid-way through the second half, Chipolopolo boss (Micho) Milutin Sredojević, saw his charges bounce back from the controversial 2-1 loss to Kenya on October 9^th to beat the Bafana Bafana by the same score today in Rustenburg’s Royal Bafokeng Stadium. Dolly latched on to an exquisite pass by Anderlecht’s Percy Tau, leaving Zambian keeper Sebastian Mwange stranded after 66 minutes. The midfielder who currently plays in Ligue Un for Montpelier put the Bafana Bafana ahead after beating Green Eagles’ shot-stopper to the ball. Mwange was caught far out of his area with few options.

The Lekki Tollgate, where the protests against police brutality began two weeks ago, was targeted.
