Bafana coach’s biased selection policy will be his undoing
The Mercury
|November 14, 2025
AS MUCH as I love Bafana Bafana, the attitude of its coach Hugo Broos, puts me off.
Broos thinks that he is everything. The time has come to call a spade a spade. Broos needs to be told that there were coaches such as Clive Barker (may his soul rest in peace) and Jomo Sono who achieved more with Bafana Bafana than him.
He needs to be reminded that he has been coaching Bafana Bafana for more than four years, but he has won nothing. Bafana Bafana was a notable absentee in the last FIFA World Cup held in Qatar because he failed dismally to ensure that the team qualify.
