Pitso Mosimane broadens leadership group with Orlando Pirates star
Ronwen Williams will remain Bafana Bafana’s senior captain, with Pitso Mosimane also naming Themba Zwane and Sipho Chaine among his leadership group.
Pitso Mosimane, the head coach of Bafana Bafana, is looking to expand the leadership group of the South African national team by offering younger players the chance to captain. Despite retaining Ronwen Williams as his first-choice skipper, Mosimane suggests that having multiple captains could be beneficial for the team. The coach has named a 30-man squad for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers, which includes both veteran midfielder Themba Zwane and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine.
Both players are set to join Williams in the leadership group, despite Mosimane's preference for introducing younger leaders. Mosimane believes that captaincy should not be limited to the oldest or most experienced players, and that the role can be given to someone based on their ability to lead. The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who has been a standout performer in the Betway Premiership, will compete with Williams and Ricardo Goss for a place in the national team.
Mosimane's decision to include multiple captains demonstrates his commitment to developing a more diverse leadership structure within Bafana Bafana.
