We can also only do it with results.
“Friendly games are becoming very important. So we will try to get good results in those two because we can win points and get a better position in the CAF ranking.”“We also have some new players, younger players with us. I hope that maybe they can show me that I can count on them for the next months, for the qualifiers for the World Cup and Afcon,” the Bafana coach added.
“And that maybe little by little, we can put those players in the team. That’s what we want to do in the next few months, besides to qualify for Afcon and World Cup.”PHOTOS: Is Dr Zweli Mkhize related to multi-millionaire MaMkhize?
