Speaking at Bafana Bafana's farewell press briefing yesterday, the expressive Mbalula once again repeated the notion that South Africa was not the "Big Brother" of Africa and that other nations were just as capable of hosting successful AFCON tournaments.
"We as government are confident that Equatorial Guinea will host a successful 2015 AFCON tournament. Other countries should be given the opportunity and platform to host such events," said Mbalula.
"We have no regrets whatsoever. The concerns that were raised are genuine," he added.
