A tale of two Bafana sides, one needs refining

Cosafa Cup team teeming with PSL stars must improve

- Kgomotso Mokoena

It was like chalk and cheese when two Bafana Bafana squads played simultaneously in the past week. While we applaud the whole exercise as one of the most brilliant ideas to come from Safa, there are still some question marks.

The makoya Bafana squad, coached by the crafty Hugo Broos played in two friendly international matches against Tanzania and Mozambique in the Fifa calendar week.

The other makeshift Bafana team was put together to participate in the Cosafa Cup. This team was made up of talented, up-and-coming fringe players on the verge of breaking through in the Betway Premiership. However, players such as Kabelo Dlamini, Mdu Shabalala, Boitumelo Radiopane, Aiden McCarthy, Ime Okon, Wandile Duba, Vuyo Letlapa, Masindi Nemtajela, Puso Dithejane and Mondli Mpoto were made to sweat blood to reach the final of the Cosafa Cup.
