Bafana Bafana next match sees them face Kenya in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier in November.

Benni McCarthy’s Harambee Stars are among the teams that have qualified for the biennial competition by virtue of being co-hosts alongside Tanzania and Uganda.

Bafana wary of Benni threat

Mosimane insists South Africa have every reason to give their best against the Harambee Stars.

“If a player or a coach’s future depends on a game, you’ve got to be very, very careful of that because sometimes the players play for him and you can get the biggest surprise you can ever have,” Mosimane told journalists.

“So be very careful of playing an emotional team and especially when they have nothing to lose.

“You’ve got to also respect that Benni is a good coach. Benni was coach at Manchester United, a dream that any coach in South Africa wished to have. He coached [Cristiano] Ronaldo, excuse me.

“You’ve got to respect the level at which he has coached, and you’ve got to respect the level at which he has played,” Jingles added.
