FIFA ruled Mokoena ineligible, leading to the team's point deduction. The incident drew criticism, with South African Minister Gayton McKenzie expressing regret over the embarrassment caused to the nation.
Mokoena's flaunting of the expensive car added fuel to the controversy surrounding the sanctions imposed on the team.
