‘This Madala hate’s Chiefs, Bvuma & Cele are performing well! Having Tau over Kwayiba in Bafana is a crime’

Published on by

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos named his final team to play Lesotho and Benin in Group C of the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.

South Africa are currently on seven points alongside Rwanda and Benin, and maximum points from the two games to be played on Friday 21 and Tuesday 25th might take them to the top of the table.

Kaizer Chiefs have no representative in the team after Rushwin Dortley's injury that has ruled him out, reportedly, until next season.

Percy Tau made a return to the squad after missing the last two international windows owing to a lack of match fitness. Have a look at what the fans said after the final squad was named by the Belgian.

Support the team instead of questioning the coach

South Africa fans

Bruce Bvuma is a South African, isn’t he? For me, I think he deserves a call-up to the national team. He’s been performing well ever since he was given a chance, keeping a couple of clean sheets and keeping Kaizer Chiefs in the game –  Fanny Lokango

Coach Hugo Broos rather bring bench warmers than players who are performing. Bathusi Aubaas over Le Roux was a crime, and Sydney Mobbie over Deano van Rooyen is also a crime. Thapelo Morena over Titus is arguably a crime, also Percy Tau over Kwayiba is uncalled for –  Everything Soccer Mzansi 

The only thing we can do is to support the team instead of questioning the coach's selections. I believe this is a strong squad, even if I felt the opposite there was and there is nothing I can do. So, support support support! – Nkosikhona Diya Ntwanambi 

Good squad but I'm expecting Thabo Cele to be included next time to create more depth in the middle – Simphiwe Mncube 

If Rushwin Dortley is not there, it means Kaizer Chiefs will support every team against Bafana Bafana – Mzwandile P Mpungose 

Mobbie, Hugo Broos' son?

The mistake the coach made is not to include Chiefs players, even if you are not gonna play them chiefs is a big team if u want people to come to the Stadium at least have one or two Chiefs players there for control – Thapelo Ratsoma 

Hugo Broos: I'm very sorry, but Mobbie has to be in the squad because he's my son – Shoe Lesiba

Hugo is spoilt with a lot of talent to be honest if he doesn't reach the finals or win AFCON he must ask himself a lot of questions – Prince Major 

I don’t know if some fans understand football or not. You can’t change a winning team, Broos built this Bafana squad and he always says to potential players that they must be consistent. Y’all act like kids watching Super strikers – Thando Mkubelo

This Madala hate's Chiefs, Bruce Bvuma and Thabo Cele are performing well at the moment – Philasande Rsa
