# Soccer: Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, says Fifa’s decision to deduct three points from Bafana Bafana in the World Cup qualifiers is deeply regrettable. South Africa has been sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player, Teboho Mokoena, in the game against Lesotho in March. The South African Football Association has been ordered to pay 215-thousand-rand, while Mokoena has been issued with a warning. Mckenzie says his department will lead a thorough investigation into the incompetence that led to this sanction.
