Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star slams Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos for Veli Mothwa decision - 'We were let down by him'

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/bafana-bafana-battle-back-to-deny-uganda-in-their-opening-2025-africa-cup-of-nations-qualifier/bltcb932993ce87aabd" target="_blank">South Africa drew 2-2 with Uganda</a> in their opening Group K match in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.After taking an early lead, South Africa fell behind after two stunning goals in succession by their visitors before substitute Thalente Mbatha saved the situation.Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye feels Bafana goalkeeper Veli Mothwa did not do enough to deal with the shots fired at him from a distance, especially fumbling the second goal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“I’m questioning even now, 'why is Veli Mothwa in Bafana Bafana?' Khanye said as per<a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/africa-cup-of-nations/khanye-questions-veli-mothwas-selection/" target="_blank"> iDiksi Times.</a>&nbsp;“I have been questioning this all along because even if you bench him, eventually you are going to have to play him. He has to play and represent us.&nbsp;“Today, we had a situation whereby Ronwen Williams is not available because he’s injured. But here we go putting Veli Mothwa in and he goes and makes a huge blunder."I need to be honest we were let down by him," added the former Amakhosi winger.“Goal number one, I understand he was beaten, but goal number two why did he even try to think he could catch the ball?"That guy was too far, even if the ball swayed, it was from far I think about 45 yards. Just punch that ball out I mean you are an experienced goalkeeper. We are not talking about a newcomer and that is where I question his selection.”&nbsp;

WHAT KHANYE SAID

Mothwa was between the sticks standing in for Bafana captain Ronwen Williams who is nursing a shoulder injury.Other options coach Hugo Broos had on the bench were Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine and Richardo Goss of SuperSport United.While Khanye blames Mothwa, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/broos-exonerates-bafana-goalkeeper-veli-mothwa-after-uganda-fumble-defends-decision-to-bench-mamelodi-sundowns-defender-grant-kekana-for-kaizer-chiefs-rushwin-dortley/blt30c3334de9f9a9ee" target="_blank">Broos has refused to make his custodian</a> responsible for conceding.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After dropping two points on Friday, Bafana will now look to pick themselves up when they visit South Sudan for their second match of Group K on Tuesday.It is to be seen if Broos will stick with Mothwa in goals or turn to the other goalkeepers.
