Who will replace Themba Zwane, can Thalente Mbatha be a super-sub again, and will Mvala help sure up the Bafana defence?
Who will fill the ‘Mshishi’ void for Bafana? Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has often spoken about the difficulty...
Thalente Mbatha scored a late equaliser against Uganda in September. Picture: Alche Greeff/Gallo ImagesBafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has often spoken about the difficulty in replacing Themba ‘Mshishi’ Zwane. But Broos and Bafana badly need to find a solution, and not just in the months Zwane is out with a ruptured Achilles tendon.Zwane is 35, and even if he stays fit following his recovery, it would surely be better if he could be used more sparingly.
Broos has said before that while Mvala may not be the most technically gifted defender in the Bafana side, he makes up for it in pure commitment. In a battle in Kampala, in front of a hostile home crowd, Mvala looks the man best-suited to partner Rushwin Dortley in the heart of the Bafana defence.
