Return of duo a boost for Bafana

VITAL: BROOS' MEN ARE SEEKING AFCON QUALIFICATION

- Jonty Mark

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos believes the return of Siyabonga Ngezana and Mothobi Mvala will help South Africa's cause, as they look to seal qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals in Morocco.

South Africa will play their final two Group K matches on Friday against Uganda in Kampala, and at Cape Town Stadium against South Sudan four days later. A victory in either of those games will guarantee Bafana a place in Morocco.

Bafana could have sealed qualification last month, if they had won home and away against Congo-Brazzaville. But after an emphatic 5-0 win at home, they could only draw 1-1 in Brazzaville.
