Former Cameroon captain Samuel Eto’o is surprised that the South Africa national team has “underperformed” in African football since he believes the Premier Soccer League (PSL) is one of the best leagues on the continent.
Bafana Bafana won the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations as hosts, but since then they have struggled to come out tops as the best team on the continent.
After finishing as runners-up at the 1998 tournament and winning a bronze medal at the 2000 finals, quarter-final appearances in 2002, 2013 and 2019 have been the best faring for Bafana.
