With the team needing to avoid defeat‚ we looks back at those losses and how they came about.
It should never have got this close for coach Stuart Baxter’s team‚ who would have sealed their passage already if they had claimed victory at minnows Seychelles in October‚ where they drew 0-0 just a few days after thumping the islanders 6-0 at home.
Bafana were put the sword‚ with Warriors legend Peter Ndlovu grabbing a brace in what was a massive wake-up call for the side. Zambia had played a series of three friendlies against Malawi and a World Cup qualifier against Morocco after the crash‚ so this was a fifth international for a newly-built national team spearheaded by the legendary Kalusha Bwalya‚ who was not on the doomed flight in Gabon.10/04/1999 vs GABON
Trott Moloto’s side came close to what would have been a good point‚ but in the end qualified easily for the finals in Ghana and Nigeria at the top of their pool.A surprise loss in a game that was not televised in South Africa and so remains something of a mystery to many Bafana fans.
