Johannesburg - South Africa's soccer hierarchy have appeared not to notice that for the past two weeks at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana, posters lining the streets of Kumasi are adorned with images of the old South African flag promoting Bafana Bafana.

It's bad enough that the main image on the posters is that of Benni McCarthy, who was not even selected for the Bafana Bafana squad - but the old apartheid flag should have triggered protests.
