‘First-half I couldn’t recognise SA but Madala is a blessing! Moremi should start ahead of choir master Nkota’

Bafana Bafana went joint top of Group B table on Monday night thanks to their 2-1 win over Angola in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

It was a vital win for South Africa who are hoping to win their first title since 1996 when they won it in the home soil. In the 2023 edition, Hugo Broos’ men finished third with Ivory Coast winning it and Nigeria coming second.

Have a look at the reactions from Mzansi following the victory in Morocco, as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

Forget about Foster’s goal and focus on his impact

This madala is a blessing to this country, we have fallen in love with Bafana Bafana again – Sam Rama

Moremi won this game for us. First half, there was no life in the attack, he came on and caused trouble in the opposition half and assisted our winning goal – Lucky

Forget about Foster’s goal and focus on his ability to bring those around him into play. We focus too much on his scoring – Mzwandile 

 In the first half, I didn’t recognise my national team. In the second half, I definitely recognised my national team. By the way, poor refereeing saved Angola – Kenny Llekamania

It’s good to see our players passing the ball to someone in a better position, unlike in the past. They played as professionals should. Keeping the basics. All that’s left now is for Broos to dodge the media – Mzwandile 

Without Moremi Bafana Bafana couldn’t have won

There’s room for improvement! It’s not the best performance, but those three points are all that matter – Zamaswati

Tshepang Moremi changed the game. Without him, we wouldn’t have won this game – DayiKaSkhova 

In the first half, we played mud football, then coach Broos knocked some sense into our boys’ heads, then boom, we got maximum points – Mamphephethe

Incredible impact from Moremi. He should start ahead of choir master Nkota from now on – Filis

People who don’t rate Hugo Broos at this current moment are suffering from some form of mental illness – Tumelo Riccado
