The Kaizer Chiefs winger, who made the first XI against Cape Verde in the opening Africa Cup of Nations clash, was not involved in South Africa’s win over Angola and the riveting draw with Morocco.
Despite being a senior statesman in the Bafana set-up, ‘Shabba’ insists that the team’s results are more important than whether he is playing or not.
“I am part of a squad and I know that I will not always get to play. The team has been doing well and all the players must just behind the cause and give it our full support,” he says.

“It’s not about me, it’s about the team. It’s about us trying to win Afcon and uniting the nation through sport.”
Tshabalala says he will be ready if needed. If I get my chance, I will definitely take it.”
Siboniso Gaxa, who looks set for his first start in the tournament against Mali in the quarter-finals following Anele Ngcongca’s suspension, echoed Shabba’s thoughts.
“We’ve got a great squad here. When you get your chance, you take it. Otherwise you just give all your support to those who are playing.”

You have run your relay and now its time take over the baton and i am happy you have accepted that with humility.
This is bigger than individual. Proudly South African.
anyway Nyawana can even with his right leg agaist Mali since Jacop Zuma donated Mali with over R90 million last week for violence which we all know its a brown envelope, i bet Sangweni can score a brace or even a treble (normal word to him)

Sit down, boy, Sit down..!!
10 GOALS...an attacking midfielder?....uyanya wena
asina skhathi sokudlala....
Now you must come join us on the stands,uzo shaya i-vuvuzela
In leglet one, the nation doesn't have a player
Keep motivating the boys.....and put one at the back of the net when you come in against Mali..
As for rightback position I fancy Matlaba over Gaxa, one of the 2010 world cup failers, with Shabba Modise, Mphela Dikgacoi in the mix. Khune is the only player who's still alive since 2010 world cup
That midget will play for BB in his wet dreams.... Humble yourself ..Ikokobetse
