Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane has sparked intense speculation by revealing that a mystery Soweto Derby midfield star is firmly on his radar for future national team call-ups. The tactician opted to keep the player's identity under wraps, but his glowing assessment suggests a new face could soon be challenging the established order in South Africa’s engine room.

The Bucs defender has seen his recent exclusion from the South African national team supported by former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Phelelani Mpangase. The experienced centre-back was a high-profile casualty when the final squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers was announced this week.

The South African defender is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about talents in the Scottish Premiership. After a string of dominant displays for Rangers, the youngster is now drawing comparisons to one of the game's greatest ever defenders.

South Africa's head coach has moved to address growing speculation regarding his recruitment policy for the national team. The legendary tactician stands accused by some sections of the fanbase of showing preferential treatment to players from his former club, Sundowns.
