"Kodisang was playing in the Olympics, and after that he was in Bragga playing in the third division in Portugal, he didn't play," explained Broos.
"And now suddenly he's good, okay. Let him continue being good and then we will a very good player in march.
"So I don't want to take Kodisang to replace another one because the players who were there [in the Bafana squad] in September satisfied me. well, except some others, but they satisfied me."
"But again, we have an eye on Kodisang, when he goes on like this, he certainly will be there in march."
