South Africa national football team Bafana Bafana earned their first point in the FIFA World Cup 2026 with a 1-1 draw against Czechia. The team's goal was scored by Teboho Mokoena in the 83rd minute, after Relebohile Mofokeng's run into the box forced a handball. Zolani Mahola, the former lead vocalist of Freshlyground, shared a video on Instagram of South Africans celebrating the goal in Berlin. The video showed a group of South Africans gathered at an outdoor restaurant, cheering and hugging each other after the goal was scored. Mahola said 'one of the beautiful things about being South African is that we carry home with us wherever we go.' The draw keeps Bafana Bafana's Round of 32 hopes alive, but Mokoena will miss the final group game against South Korea due to a second yellow card. Coach Hugo Broos made a key change at halftime, bringing on Mofokeng, who immediately changed the game with his pace and directness. The team's next match is against South Korea on 25 June 2026. Bafana Bafana's players were spotted splashing out at a jewellery store in Atlanta ahead of the Czechia match. The team's fans were thrilled with the result, with many taking to social media to celebrate. Zolani Mahola's video was met with positive comments, with many saying they had experienced the same excitement wherever they were in the world.
