Amajita aim to inspire Bafana with World Cup campaign

PATHS are not always forged by forefathers; they are also paved by descendants.

As a result, after the U20 national team led from the front, expectations are now high for Bafana Bafana to follow suit.

Amajita will begin their FIFA U-20 World Cup campaign in Chile on Monday. They’ve made significant strides toward becoming regular competitors on the global stage, having qualified for the 2019 tournament in Poland.

Although they finished bottom of Group F — which included eventual finalists South Korea and early favourites Portugal — the experience gained by some of coach Thabo Senong’s players proved invaluable, and remains relevant today.

The trio of Thabiso Monyane, Thabo Moloisane, and Oswin Appollis haven’t only become first-team regulars at their respective clubs, but they’ve also earned their stripes with Bafana Bafana.
