Bafana’s Pitso praises Man-of-the-Match Sebelebele

Kamogelo Sebelebele shone brightly in Bafana Bafana's 2-1 win over Guinea, earning him the Man-of-the-Match award in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Group (AFCON) D qualifier. The 24-year-old, who replaced the injured Khuliso Mudau, showed great improvement as the game progressed, despite facing some tough challenges from Guinea's Aliou Balde early on.

Coach Pitso Mosimane was impressed by Sebelebele's performance, noting his speed and confidence in the right-back position. Sebelebele's standout play will likely secure his spot in the Bafana Bafana lineup as they face Eritrea in their next qualifier.
