South Africa has been experiencing a high number of Xenophobic attacks, resulting in the cancellation of their friendly matches.

They were set to face Zambia at the weekend, before Chipolopolo pulled the plug on the friendly. On Wednesday evening, the country’s football governing body had it confirmed that Madagascar was replacing Zambia, before the islanders also withdrew from the encounter.

Bafana confirmed via their official Twitter page that the friendly was unfortunately cancelled.
