Following the loss, fans took to the social media to vent their anger and call for Ntseki’s axing.
Economic Freedom Fighters deputy president Floyd Shivambu also voiced his dissatisfaction and asked the SA Football Association to axe the “clueless” coach.
“The sooner @SAFA_net saves South African football from the clueless and directionless Bafana Bafana Coach the better! Down with this kind of of thing! He must fall!” Wrote Shivambu.

While others were calling for Ntseki’s axing, others felt that he was not the problem, but Bafana are simply not good enough.
We can’t blame the coach, Bafana Bafana problem has always being the executive. We had good coaches but they have all failed and most point the problem at administration. Protect the coach he is also a victim of bad administration.

Percy Tau deserves better Bafana Bafana teammates, most of his work goes to waste. He should’ve been in the era of Bartlett, Zuma, Benni, Buckley, Nomvete, Fortune etc when we ranked #1 in Africa at the turn of the century.

No! Zambia did not stun Bafana Bafana. They were hungrier and sharper. Bafana Bafana were mediocre. https://t.co/LRk8GtpAFX
