Madagascar has cancelled the
International friendly against South Africa men’s national team.
Madagascar was a last minute
replacement for Zambia, who pulled out as a result of the Xenophobic attacks on
other African nationals in South Africa.
Madagascar was to take on the
Bafana Bafana at the Orlando stadium on Saturday.
Bafana Bafana confirmed this
development on their official Twitter handle on Thursday.
