Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie calls on South African Football Association (SAFA) to ensure head coach Pitso Mosimane receives a salary comparable to that of former Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos. McKenzie frames the request as a matter of equal pay and says Mosimane “deserves” a wage at the level offered to Broos.
The demand comes as Mosimane’s contract negotiations remain ongoing. Sources describe the issue as part of preparations tied to South Africa’s next Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, with SAFA seeking to finalize terms while the team prepares for upcoming matches.
While both accounts focus on McKenzie’s intervention with SAFA regarding Mosimane’s pay, they differ mainly in emphasis: one highlights the salary comparison directly, while the other links the pay request more explicitly to the timing of contract talks and the team’s qualification plans. Both report McKenzie’s position that SAFA should match what Broos was paid for the role.
