DEFENSIVE DEPTH: Bafana boast centre-back riches as Mosimane weighs options for Kenya double-header
Pitso Mosimane faces a welcome selection headache as Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Ime Okon, Olwethu Makhanya and other centre-backs compete for Bafana Bafana places.
Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane is grappling with a decision on the centre-back position as four players compete for starting spots. Mosimane lamented the lack of a lethal goal-poacher but has options like Lyle Foster, Evidence Makgopa, Yanela Mbuthuma, and Iqraam Rayners. At right back, Thabang Matuludi and Kamogelo Sebelebele are available, while Aubrey Modiba and Samukele Kabini compete at left back.
Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Ime Okon, and Olwethu Makhanya form a strong trio, with Makhanya recently moving to Scottish side Rangers. The coach welcomes the headache, hoping to learn from Bokke's playing style. Bafana Bafana faces Kenya in a double-header on November 13 and 17.
