Mbule shines as Bafana hunt for playmaker

BAFANA Bafana coach Hugo Broos has praised midfielder Sipho Mbule for his growing influence in the national team setup and revealed how a simple halftime message sparked his second-half revival against Zimbabwe.

- SMISO MSOMI

The 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifier, played in front of a packed Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday night, ended goalless - a result that dented Bafana’s qualification hopes. Though officially designated as the away team, the Warriors hosted the clash in Durban due to none of Zimbabwe's stadiums meeting Fifa accreditation standards.

Despite the frustrating result, Broos found reason for encouragement in Mbule’s display. The Orlando Pirates midfielder, affectionately known as “MasterChef,, has worked his way back into the national picture after missing out on several squads earlier this year.
