He highlighted the significant travel time through heavy traffic as a major disruption during a critical preparation period for the knockout stages.
"I can’t believe that CAF allowed this. Our hotel is 45 minutes from the training ground, and it is inside the camp of our next opponent [should Bafana progress]," Hugo Broos stated.

Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy is set to release his biography in February and he has opened up about what really drove him to tell his story.
"I can confirm that the team base camp information was released about five months ago, and the onus was on each team or its team manager to assess and provide feedback," September explained in a written statement.
"A week or two ago, the logistics for the round of 16 were also shared for teams to review and comment on. I am yet to receive any feedback from South Africa," he added.
Bafana Bafana had been based in Marrakesh for the group stage, where they stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel while competing against Angola, Egypt, and Zimbabwe in Group B. The team relocated to Rabat after successfully advancing to the knockout phase.
