South Africa have moved a step closer to returning to the Fifa World Cup after they defeated Lesotho 3-0 in a Group C qualifier played at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on Friday evening.

Bafana have retained a five-point lead at the top of the standings (Benin are now the nearest chasers, after they defeated Zimbabwe in a concurrent match) and are now heavy favourites to finish in pole position and secure direct qualification.

South Africa suffered an early injury blow, with Nyiko Mobbie picking up a knock to the head, which saw him replaced by Zuko Mdunyelwa in the sixth minute.

From vervet monkeys swinging through tree-lined streets in the suburbs and baboons frolicking around Cape Point to seals visiting the Hout Bay harbour in search of a fishy snack and an array of bird species taking to the sky at any given moment.
