He managed the South Africa national team, but was sacked from the team on the eve of the 2004 African Cup of Nations in January 2004 after previously having been suspended.[6][7][8][9]

A month later, in February 2004, Mashaba took over Black Leopards.[5]

He was appointed as manager of the South Africa national team for a second time in July 2014.[11] He was suspended for disciplinary reasons in November 2016,[12] and was sacked for misconduct in December 2016.[13] He failed in his attempt to appeal the decision.[14]

In January 2019 he became manager of Witbank Spurs.[15] After a poor run of form, he was sacked on 3 April 2019.[16]
