Bafana Bafana captain Steven Pienaar says the team must move on from the weekend's developments as he rallied his charges for their remaining 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifying matches.
South Africa play Botswana on Saturday in Gaborone, having being held to a 1-all draw by Ethiopia in Phokeng on Sunday.
It was Bafana's seventh successive game without a victory and the final nail in the coffin for national coach Pitso Mosimane, who was sacked on Monday night.
His assistant Steve Komphela takes over on an interim basis while Moroka Swallows' Gordon Igesund remains favourite for the full-time position after the home friendly against Gabon next Friday.
