    It's very SAD what South Africans did to Zambia and they are telling the world that, it was the boys who pelting the Zambians. My question to Fifa and CAF how safe is the Afcon fans. How much fine are they going to pay Zambia. I think South Africa is not ready to host the 2013 January Afcon In terms of security.

Best is to postponed the event or shift to a Safer country Let
