One of the key components in any team setup is a competitive goalkeeping department. In most cases, the best, usually the most experienced one, is always the number one choice, and in the case of Bafana, Mamelodi Sundowns' captain has been the undisputed choice. With his age advancing and no young successor in the picture already, a goalkeeping problem for the national team has been predicted.

Broos blasted! Bafana beat themselves at AFCON

The Africa Cup of Nations finals is heading to the ultimate stage, and to every South African football fan, they had to believe their team had the ability to reach this stage. However, Bafana were eliminated quite early; Cameroon's Indomitable Lions proved too strong for them and eliminated the 1996 AFCON champions in the Round of 16. Since elimination, criticism, counter-criticism and the blame game have been the order of the day, and many fingers have pointed to one man: Broos.

South Africa exited the 2025 AFCON without managing to at least match their third-place finish from the previous edition in Ivory Coast. The 1996 African champions were less convincing this time around and looked a far cry from the side that charmed the continent in their last outing. Their early departure has sparked differing opinions about their Belgian coach and the team’s overall direction ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Going to Morocco, Bafana were ambitious and hoped to mount a campaign even better than what they did in Ivory Coast in the last AFCON edition. But that was not the case; despite a spirited fight against Cameroon, the 1996 champions were eliminated. Scenes after the final whistle just showed how the players felt; as the Indomitable Lions celebrated, crestfallen South Africans struggled to understand what happened; some fell to the ground as the strong ones comforted them.
