Parreira can now Work, 6 months too late

The Department of Home Affairs has fast-tracked the process but the South African Football Association but still has egg on its face. Bafana Bafana coach Carlos Parreira received his work permit today, almost six months after his appointment as national football coach. Spokesperson Mantshele Tau said the Department of Home Affairs committed itself to resolve the issue as speedily as possible, because it was in the interest of 2010. Parreira who conducted a training camp for invited players last week and attended Premier League matches this weekend, was warned to stop working immediately or face arrest. The Brazilian who earns almost R60-thousand rand a day, will now be allowed to move into his office and continue to prepare for South Africa's African Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad next month.
