Chipezeze promises Bafana no World Cup qualifiers favours! ‘We are preparing for Afcon’

Zimbabwe goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze has promised Bafana Bafana a tough FIFA World Cup qualifier on Friday.

The two teams will be squaring it out at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in a must-win game for Hugo Broos' men. The Warriors have nothing to lose since they are already eliminated after managing four draws and as many losses in Group C.

However, the custodian is determined to help Zimbabwe frustrate their opponents and deny them a chance to dine with the big boys.

Zimbabwe not taking the matches lightly

“It’s an opportunity for us because remember we are also preparing for the 2025 AFCON,” the Dikwena Tsa Meetse custodian told the media.

“We are not taking these games lightly. In every qualifier we played, we tried to compete. So these two games that are coming up are also a chance for us to prepare well so that when we go to the tournament, we know where we are as a nation.

“So it’s a good opportunity for us, starting with Bafana Bafana and Lesotho later. Like I said, we can’t take these games lightly,” he continued.

I am grateful for the support

Chipezeze has expressed his delight after getting an opportunity to represent his nation once again.

“It’s a good opportunity because everyone loves to represent their nation. I am honoured to be part and parcel of the group that has been doing well. For me to be there it means I am learning every day.

“At the international level, you meet different kinds of people with different qualities and stuff like that. So it’s an opportunity for me to grow and to also improve my game.

“So I am just grateful for the support. Without Magesi FC and helping me to achieve what I want as an individual, it is something that I will always be grateful for. The support that my Chairman, the boys are giving me is something that I will always cherish. For me to be representing my nation means that I will also be representing Magesi,” the 35-year-old concluded.
