WEDSON NYIRENDA (PART 2)
"Wada Wada," it's great having you back again, we appreciate it. We ended our interview last week when you were telling us about captain Neil Tovey's impact on the team.
Captain Neil was simply the best in that team. We had other great guys like Nicky Shaw, Steve Crawley, Johannes "Bricks" Modau, Trevor Mthimkhulu, Wellington Manyathi - all senior players and those guys were pillars of that team. We had Rudolph Searle competing with Ntsie Maphike on the left - one player would play one week and the other would play the following week. But all of them were giving 100 percent. The coach Philippe Troussier was really spoiled for selection.
Philippe Troussier went on to coach Bafana Bafana at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. In West Africa they called him the "White Witch Doctor." How was he in the dressing room because we understand that his English was not good at the time?

Adams faces race against time
Jayden Adams' international future hangs in the balance, and the countdown has officially begun. With just one month remaining before Hugo Broos finalises his squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, the 24-year-old midfielder finds himself in a position few would have predicted two years ago. Once a rising star of Stellenbosch FC and a standout performer at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast, Adams now faces the harsh reality of reduced game time at Mamelodi Sundowns and uncertainty around his Bafana Bafana role. The player who earned his way into Broos' plans through hard work and consistency has slipped into unfamiliar territory at club level, and his national team prospects have dimmed as a result. The Siya crew has been tracking his situation closely, uncovering worrying signs behind the scenes as Adams fights to keep his AFCON dream alive.
