The majority of South Africans have expressed their anger after Bafana Bafana stars failed to make the Caf Best XI on Monday night.
Ronwen Williams, who won the Goalkeeper of the Year and the Interclub Player of the Year Awards, was not voted in by players. Manchester United and Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana took his place.
The defence had Achraf Hakimi, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Chancel Mbemba while the midfield department had Yves Bissouma, Sofyan Amrabat, Franck Kessie, and Mohammed Kudus.
Mohamed Salah, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman were voted as the best in attack. Have a look at what Mzansi said.
What a joke! Williams & Mokoena should be there
The rule here is simple: You can't be based in Africa. We still have a long way to go as Africans. Aluta Continua – Kgwahla Masipa
I don't know what Andre Onana and Yves Bissouma did this year to be selected for Caf Best XI. Ronwen Williams had a better year than Onana, even Khuliso Mudau could have been selected ahead of Bissouma if this was based on performances – Sihle Diko
Okay, that's fine but as Bafana Bafana, we want to play with this team, since it is the best – Mfundo Nyengane
What a joke! Ronwen Williams and Teboho Mokoena should be there ahead of Onana and Bissouma – Nkululeko Mpotulo
What a joke! Where's our Williams and Mokwena? Or this whole thing is based on the value of the player and which team he's playing for in Europe? What a joke from our leaders – Flex Mapoma
Mokoena deserves to be in the squad
Should have just said Europe starting lineup. Mokoena deserves to be in this squad along with Williams. Bafana had a great run in CAF and yet none of our players makes the best lineup? – Cent Ta Lino
This doesn't make sense to me or maybe I smoke too much. If Onana is the best goalkeeper then why did they give Williams that best goalkeeper award? Please make me understand this – Story Khakahali
Sofyan Amrabat had a bad season with Manchester United and was not even better at Afcon. I believe Tebogo Mokoena could have suited that position – Khayalethu Lethu
What are the criteria that they use to select these players? Is this category only for African players playing in Europe or does it include the ones playing here at home, Africa? – Mzikayise Buyel'embho Gqubutsha Nyosi
Onana is a joke, I don't understand why he was even nominated with Ronwen Williams for the award. Stanley Nwabali is the closest to Ronza – Musa Mapengo
