Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie impressed with Safa & Broos - 'I am beyond being proud'

In recent international competitions, Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana have been doing relatively well in their bid to become a force to reckon with in Africa and the world.

The Belgian has managed to get players he feels will help him achieve the set objectives.

In the almost-done International break, Bafana Bafana played Congo-Brazzaville in the back-to-back 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

They won 5-0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Friday, October 11 before playing to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday.

South Africa are currently placed second in Group K with eight points, two less than leaders Uganda and have a massive chance of getting their ticket when they play the East Africans in their next fixture.

"I think by the results, Bafana Bafana have got a coach that is doing a brilliant job, and you have got brilliant people in the team," McKenzie told SNL24.

"So I think Safa is doing a good job with Bafana Bafana and the women's soccer team. You know I go on results and I don't go on people's feelings and sentiments.

"The results are there and you saw what we did; we demolished [Congo]. I am beyond being proud," McKenzie concluded.

Bafana are close to sealing their place in the 2025 Afcon, but it will be satisfying if they also get a chance to play in the 2026 Fifa World Cup.

With the current performances, their chances of taking part in the World Cup for the first time since 2010 are high.
