Ntlhe gets Bafana call

Kgosi Ntlhe has been called-up by Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund

Posted: 24 August 2012 Time: 02:49 pm

South African youngster Kgosi Ntlhe has been called up by Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund for the internationals against Brazil and Mozambique next month.

This was confirmed via a tweet by the press officer at his English Championship club, Peterborough United, and then retweeted by the player himself.

"Can now confirm that Kgosi Nthle has been called up to the South African senior squad for games against Brazil and Mozambique,” United press officer Phil Adlam said.

The 18-year-old left-back broke into the first team at Peterborough in the final two Championship games of last season, both substitute appearances.

However, he has started all the club's games so far in the current campaign and looks to be entrenched in the fullback position.

He is known to be highly rated by United manager Darren Ferguson, son of Manchester United legend Sir Alex.

Ntlhe played for the South African Under-20 side at the 8-Nations Tournament in Cape Town earlier this year and won rave reviews for his performances.

Should he make it onto the pitch in either game, he will be four months older than the youngest-ever Bafana international, Aaron Mokoena, who was 18 years, two months and 26 days when he played against Botswana in 1999.

Igesund is only due to formally announce his squad for the two matches on Thursday.

Gordon must select Chiefs players, they have the fighting spirit, they have just made history by winning PSL league after 2 games.

They have also advanced to the semis of the MTN8 Top up to face Baroka of which they stand no chance of wining.

Please Gordon select Chiefs players.

VERY GOOD move Mr COACH ...we need this untapped talent in our mist....if the boy is good and on form for his team,he deserves to be called up...even BRAZIL is introducing their young team to gain experience for the WORLD CUP...so should we...all the RANTIE'S,DINO NDLOVU,young SANGWENI,MODISE,MATHOHO,MANQELE,MOKOTSHO,CHABANGU,MANQELE,MALULEKE,KLATE,MAHLANGU MAY,..should be called up together with the more familliar faces to blend together to form a balanced BAFANA team...and we should not judge them with whatever outcome of these friendly matches

Gordon, it is as if you heard my prayers... we need youth in that squad-- the oldest must be 27, and with exceptional influence and abilities like Shaba for instance. Oh Gordon, pls get us also Claasen, he is way better than Steve in the national colour, Steve plays well in EPL only... a good player should know how to adapt to any system or place... big up GI
