Bafana Bafana solidified their position on top of Group D in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), with a 5-0 win over Eritrea in Cairo on Wednesday evening.

Both Relebohile Mofokeng and Oswin Appollis shone against the Red Sea Camels; the former scored a brace while the latter claimed three assists to ensure Pitso Mosimane’s men now have six points from their opening two games.

South Africa beat Guinea 2-1 in matchday 1 played at the Orlando Stadium last weekend.

Appollis doesn’t have to accommodate Modiba

The fans are happy with the way Mofokeng played, as well as the Orlando Pirates star Appollis. Supporters have been further urged to wear national team colours when on the pitch.

Relebohile Mofokeng serving those Dunusa fans humble pie, after they mock him about his stats for Bafana Bafana; what a way to respond with the brace –  Samkelo Madlopha

Technically those assist belongs to Aubrey Modiba because Oswin Appolis is accommodating him – Aubrey Modiba

Even Kaizer Chiefs would have scored eight against this Eritrea team – Doshka Moshka

Oswin Appollis delivered a MOTM performance. He doesn’t have to accommodate anyone because he’s the Bafana Breadwinner – Kay Fonic 

When the national team play, can we stop wearing club jerseys at home or in the stadiums and normalize wearing Bafana Bafana jerseys? – Patwell Mabuti Canham

Mosimane would have won SA the World Cup

A section of the Mzansi supporters believes Pitso Mosimane could have helped the team perform better in the 2026 FIFA World Cup where Hugo Broos-led Bafana Bafana reached the Round of 32.

When will Puso Dithejane get a run? We want to see him also in yellow and green – Evidence Modieginyana

 I misjudged Pitso Mosimane, he could possibly even get us to the Round of 16 or possibly even win the World Cup – Mampane Bokang

Under Pitso Mosimane we could have won the 2026 World Cup – Makungo Odzulaho

By the way this Eritrea almost beat Benni McCarthy’s team, and they can easily beat Nigeria -Bongani Mathaba 

Any team in Africa can beat Eritrea 5-0 or even more. Let’s not over hype this Bafana Bafana team and individual players based on these results – Nick Daniels
