South Africa assistant coach Mkhalele cleared to travel to Mexico

JOHANNESBURG: South Africa assistant coach Helman Mkhalele has received his U.S. visa and will leave for the team’s World Cup base in Pachuca, Mexico on Tuesday after players and the technical team left for the tournament without him on Monday. South Africa’s departure for the global finals, their first since they were hosts in 2010, has been mired in chaos after it emerged an administrative bungle meant most players and technical staff did not have the required visas on the day of their intended travel via charter flight on Sunday.
