Makgopa will reward trust

Broos' side will play Uganda in Kampala tomorrow and South Sudan four days later at the Cape Town Stadium. A victory in either of those matches will guarantee Bafana a place at the Afcon finals at the end of next year.

"The only thing I can say is, you don't want to disappoint such a person (Broos) who has faith in you," said Makgopa this week.
