Bafana Bafana needed only a point away in Sudan to make it to the finals in Cameroon next year, but lost 2-0 - a result that put Sudan through at their expense. "Not qualifying has dented our image, our possibilities," he told BBC Sport Africa. "As passionate South Africans, the expectation was for Bafana Bafana to qualify for Afcon - and maybe to do better than the last time. "As players, as coaches, we are very much aware of the emotional pain we have caused all South Africans." South Africa were drawn in Group C in qualification, alongside Ghana, Sudan and Sao Tome.
