South Africa criticises Togo ban decision

South Africa\'s foreign minister has criticised a decision by African football authorities to ban Togo from the next two African Cup of Nations.



Maite Nkoana-Mashabane says she is disappointed with the African Football Confederation (CAF) for banning Togo.



The team agreed to remain in Angola and play after gunmen killed two members of the team\'s party and a driver at last month\'s tournament in Angola, but the Togo government ordered the players home.



CAF says the withdrawal constituted government interference, a violation of the rules.



Togo have asked world sport\'s top court to overturn the suspension from the 2012 and 2014 African Cup of Nations.
