Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams is excited to see Mamelodi Sundowns teammate Themba Zwane back with the senior national team for the international friendlies against Sierra Leone and Botswana.
Bafana take on Sierra Leone on Saturday and Botswana on Tuesday, both at FNB Stadium, where coach Hugo Broos will have a look at a number of new players he has called up.
“Guys will learn a lot from him because he has played at the highest level. We played together at Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 and there is a lot of history between us. Questions have been asked about the quality of 113th-ranked Sierra Leone and 146th-ranked Botswana as opponents, but Williams said there are no easy games on the African continent.
“But in saying this, this is still a new team and most of the guys don’t even have more than five caps. But it is time we qualified for these major tournaments like the Cup of Nations.”“It is good for the new players in the Bafana squad, it is good that the coach is giving them the opportunity. We have a few injuries to the more permanent players who were here before, and it is an opportunity for these guys to take.
