The Rwanda international was struggling for game time this season, even after some impressive showings between the sticks for the Wasps in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, especially against Nigeria. But on Sunday he got his chance at club level to prove to the coaches that he deserves to be the first-choice goalkeeper.
Broos' decision to overlook players from the Soweto giants raised eyebrows given that Amakhosi look like a much more improved side than they were last season. Although they do not have players in the national team, Makhosi have been told to support Bafana wholeheartedly.
The Bucs' youngster could not complete the Saturday game against Siwlele, and these injury fears rose just before he joined his national teammates for Bafana games ahead. However, the Sea Robbers tactician has called for patience as the forward is assessed.
The Belgian tactician has explained why the Bucs youngster should leave as soon as possible if he is to get even better. Although he started playing senior football recently, the Sea Robber has established himself as a key player for both Bafana and the club.
The Buccaneers wideman has not been the same player who took the Premier Soccer League by storm last season, but the national team coach retains trust in him. The Belgian coach explains why he has not lost faith in the 20-year-old who is pushing to go to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals with the national side.
The Belgian has responded to the administrator who had threatened a "thorough investigation into the incompetence that led to this sanction" after South Africa were deducted three points in their FIFA World Cup qualifying group.
The midfielder explains why he feels he can still deliver for South Africa despite the fact he has never played under the current coach. Broos initially ignored experienced players but changed his mind later, and the midfielder believes the same can happen for him.
After finding itself receiving heavy criticism after Bafana were punished, the football association is staring at yet another tough case. The delay in conclusively dealing with appeals involving players has now emerged as another challenge SAFA is facing as the local players union says enough is enough..
With the case now settled, the football official says Bafana now have a chance of rightfully fighting for a slot in next year's finals. He also feels Lesotho would have played their last qualifier differently had FIFA rendered judgement.
SA found themselves in hot water following Mokoena's appearance against Lesotho, who complained and brought the matter to FIFA's attention. After the ruling, the FA official says he has been vindicated because he helped restore the game's integrity.
SA finally learnt of FIFA's ruling in the case that involved the suspended Bafana Bafana midfielder. The deduction of points comes with the qualifiers set to conclude in October, putting Hugo Broos' boys in a very complicated position despite the hard work that took them to the top of their group.
South Africa’s World Cup hopes took a major hit as FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee sanctioned the South African Football Association for fielding Mokoena, deemed ineligible, in the March 2025 qualifier against Lesotho. The ruling strips Bafana Bafana of crucial points, slaps SAFA with a fine and a warning to Mokoena.
After he was declared a free agent, the utility star revealed what he would like to achieve with Usuthu upon completion of his long-awaited move. The amateur club fought hard to cling to their players but have lost three cases so far, as the judgements favour the footballers.
South Africa are three points on top of Group C ahead of second-placed Benin and Nigeria who have six points fewer than them. That makes winning their remaining two matches crucial in the bid to qualify for the World Cup, especially with the Teboho Mokoena case being a potential major drawback.
The world football governing body has charged South Africa in a development that could decide matters in Group C of the bid to qualify for the quadrennial global competition. That leaves the men at Nasrec preparing a legal battle to defend the work that has been done by Hugo Broos and his men so far in this campaign to go to the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Mzansi might be forced to win their last two Group C games to get their ticket after the World Football Governing Body opened a case against Hugo Broos' side.
The Super Eagles and the Cheetahs have been banking on the world football governing body to punish the Southern African nation for a massive blunder made in the qualifiers.
The experienced right back is yet to feature for Masandawana but has started training with his teammates as he waits for his contractual situation to be fully resolved.
The Bucs' defender is one of the players tipped to make big moves out of the country soon, but he has been discouraged from seeing England as the best destination.
