Mamelodi Sundowns head coach, Manqoba Mngqithi, has tipped young defender Malibongwe Khoza for a bright future with Bafana Bafana.
The 20-year-old centre-back was promoted from the DStv Diski Challenge at the beginning of the season.
He has already made five appearances for the senior team, including taking part in the big match against the mighty Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling knockout Cup.
Mngqithi is impressed with Khoza's potential and believes he has a strong chance of being included in the Bafana Bafana squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

“I’m very happy with Khoza,” Manqoba told SuperSport TV in his post-match interview.
“I think he’s developing into something big, and I can tell you now, if he continues the way he is, he has a very big chance of going to AFCON with the national team [Bafana Bafana].
“I have no doubt.”
Hugo Broos has already given opportunities to youngsters including Relebohile Mofokeng, Rushwin Dortley, Thalente Mbatha, Jayden Adams and Oswin Appollis.
