‘It’s hard to be Chiefs player in SA! But those asking Lorch to be in Bafana watch football on TikTok’

Published on by

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has recently confirmed his 23-man squad to play Zambia in the forthcoming international friendly game.

The 2013 champions and South Africa will use the match, that will be played on Saturday, November 15, to prepare for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations that will be staged in Morocco from December 21 to January 18.

While Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns got a good number of player in the team, Kaizer Chiefs have no representative. Have a look at Mzansi's reaction.

Why not play against European teams?

Madala's Bafana Bafana, Sundowns, and Pirates players have been doing well without Chiefs players. It’s no surprise that he has overlooked Khosi players yet again. Why fix it if it’s not broken? Broos has results to back up his selection of players, and all we need to do is to support the team. For as long as Hugo is winning and breaking records, whoever questions his choices is in a futile battle. The boys at Naturena should just focus on doing wonders for the Mighty Amakhosi, and the rest will follow – Sam Nkululeko Ndima

Why are we not playing friendly games against European teams so that we can become familiar with the way they play and the speed of the game at that level? If Bafana Bafana want to be prepared properly for the World Cup, we need to start playing friendly games against big soccer countries – Calfernio De Lange 

Did Hugo Broos really need to call Lyle Foster, Mohau Nkota, and Sithole for a friendly? – Jean Potgieter

People who are saying Thembinkosi Lorch should be there, clearly they are watching football on TikTok – Shenko Bling 

You can say all but Shabalala and those Chiefs' youngsters are the future of South Africa; Helman Mkhalele and Hugo Broos can select their favorite players, but you can't keep those youngsters down – Scelo Mangen 

Chiefs should take this as a motivation

Kaizer Chiefs celebrate

Between Ricardo Goss and Brandon Petersen, as a coach, who will you choose? Some other things are clear here. The guy is against Chiefs. I am not criticizing Goss – Gxekani Maniki

I think Kaizer Chiefs players could take this as a motivation to keep working hard – Mbo-men Vilakati 

It is hard to be a Kaizer Chiefs player in South Africa. I will support any team that plays against Broos' Bafana Bafana – Waka Vona

They are going to ask about Mduduzi Shabalala because he scored tw goals against School children. Guys, we are serious here – Bhutiiey Spherh 

This squad has been doing well, and looking at the fact that there is an upcoming tournament, there should be continuity and improved team chemistry. For that reason, I support the idea of continuing with the same players – Bathusi Lux
