South African centre-back Ime Okon has confirmed that his allegiance lies firmly with Bafana Bafana. Born to a Nigerian father and South African mother, he says his heart belongs to South Africa. Okon pointed out that he has already represented South Africa at COSAFA and even scored. He insists there was never a real approach from Nigerian football authorities. He added that, even if Nigeria had tried to call him up, his decision would not have changed. "South Africa is my home," he stated.
