Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has named his 27-man squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Kenya. The team will face Kenya in two matches next week. The selection includes Ronwen Williams and Teboho Mokoena, despite their injuries. Mosimane said he did not want to exclude them prematurely without a final medical assessment.
Themba Zwane, a key player, was left out of the squad. Mosimane described the decision as difficult but necessary. He emphasized honesty over emotion in his selection process. Other notable omissions include Nkosinathi Sibisi, Lebohang Maboe, Thapelo Maseko, and others.
This squad selection comes ahead of the back-to-back matches against Kenya. The games are crucial for Bafana Bafana’s qualification campaign. The team will be tested against a strong Kenyan side led by Benni McCarthy. The matches will take place in Auckland Park.
Mosimane’s choices reflect a balance between experience and potential. The inclusion of injured players shows a strategic approach to ensure readiness for the qualifiers. The squad will be evaluated before the matches to ensure optimal performance. The outcome of these games will be vital for South Africa’s hopes in the Africa Cup of Nations.
