South African Minister of Sports and Recreation, Fikile Mbalula The South African Minister of Sports and Recreation, Fikile Mbalula, has said they will reward the Bafana Bafana team handsomely if they win the 2014 Africa Nations Championship title.

“We shall not reward mediocrity. We shall only reward the team if they win the trophy,” said Mbalula during a press briefing at the Cape Town ICC.

The Minister said as a country South Africans were happy with the performance of the team in their 3-1 win over Mozambique in the opening game on Saturday at the Cape Town Stadium.

“Bafana Bafana lived up to our expectations when they fought from a goal down to beat Mozambique. Those are young Lions,” added the Minister.

He thanked CAF for showing confidence in South Africa’s government and the FA (SAFA) for giving them chance to host an African tournament like this one which shows cases the different talents in Africans League.

“There are many scouts here who are watching these players and want to take them to Europe,” he added.

He called upon Africans not to water down the CHAN tournament because it is a platform to develop our talent.

“This CHAN tournament is slowly growing and we can only make it better,” said Mbalula.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics
