South Africa's MacBeth Sibaya holds off Jamaican Omar Daley

South Africa drew 0-0 with a make shift Jamaican side in a dour friendly encounter at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

Wednesday night's performance suggests there are serious problems around the team's management and a growing disillusion with coach Ephraim Mashaba.

The result kept up Mashaba's unbeaten record at the helm of the team since taking over after the World Cup, but saw South Africa manage just a handful of shots at goal against a side who had made a long trip from the Caribbean.

Bafana Bafana have recently been without six of their key foreign-based players, all of whom have fallen out with Mashaba.

Quinton Fortune of Manchester United became the latest to pull out of the side, saying he could have risked the possibility of aggravating a hip injury.

Mashaba said it was an intangible excuse.

But it is becoming clear that the leading footballers do not want to play for the side as long as Mashaba is coach.

As a result, South Africa were far from strength on Wednesday night, in a match intended to celebrate the start of their World Cup 2010 bid campaign.

Their best chance came with virtually the last kick of the game - a Jamaica defender deflected a long range shot and forced goalkeeper, Donovan Ricketts to make a superb save.

Bafana Bafana will now play England in Durban on May 22 in another friendly.
