Daily News
|November 17, 2025
TEBOHO Mokoena is not the type to indulge in fanfare, but even he could not hide the emotion as he marked a personal landmark during Bafana Bafana's 3-1 win over Zambia at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.
TEBOHO Mokoena saluted mentors and teammates as he celebrated his landmark 50th cap for Bafana Bafana.

The 28-year-old midfielder, who has become one of Hugo Broos' most trusted performers, earned his 50th Bafana cap, a milestone that arrived with a mix of pride, reflection and gratitude.
Mokoena played 46 minutes before being replaced by Orlando Pirates midfielder Thalente Mbatha early in the second half, but by then his achievement had already been sealed - and celebrated by teammates who understand how hard he has worked to become a permanent fixture in the national side.
