Semi-finals of the ongoing 2013 African Nations Cup finals in South Africa - Hundreds of Malian youth took to the streets here Saturday evening to celebrate their team's qualification for the semi-finals of the ongoing 2013 African Nations Cup finals in South Africa.
Incidentally, it was the South African hosts that Mali knocked out 4-2 on penalties to qualify.
The match ended 1-1 after 120 minutes of play before the Malians scored three of their shootout while South Africa scored only one.
PANA reported that car drivers and motor cyclists were blaring their horns in the city centre in celebration, despite the state of emergency imposed across the country following the war against Islamist insurgents in the north.
