Analysing Bafana’s Afcon exit
Description
Welcome to 2026 Lead listeners…
From municipal elections to the FIFA World Cup, it is going to be a banger of a year… and we’ll be with you telling our countries’ most critical stories, every step of the way. For our first edition of season two of The Lead; Bafana bows out of the Africa Cup of Nations after failing to capitalise on early attacks against the Cameroonians in the knockout stages. We’ll hit the locker room with News24 Sport journalist Tashreeq Vardien next. Later, in our trending topic, the SAPS scores several arrests these holidays, seizing explosives in the process. Finally, the SABC’s first run of television broadcasts started On This Day in SA History, heard at the end of the show.
