Shongwe gives thumbs up to Broos' squad selection

Television pundit William Shongwe has praised the 23-man Bafana Bafana squad that has been selected for their final Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Morocco on Saturday.

Both nations have already qualified for the 2023 AFCON tournament set to place in Ivory Coast in January 2024.

"Hugo Broos has already qualified, so it's a good time to select an experimental squad," Shongwe tells KickOff.

"There is still a lot of substance in the squad, even though there are few new names.

"Grant Kekana, even though he is not a regular for Bafana Bafana, but he travelled in Africa.

"These international games, the competition you face is the same as the one you get in the CAF Champions League.

"In Africa, most of the coaches select players that have CAF Champions League experience.

So, Broos has hit the nail on the head with his squad selection.

"Yes, obviously there are the likes of Monnapule Saleng who are doing well locally, there's no doubt about his inclusion.

"Mihlali Mayambela scored what was a crucial goal in their last game, so it's a good squad.

"They can play position football, they have quality in that squad, and there's speed also in that squad.

"There is nothing wrong with this squad, if anything we can build up on that."

Kick-off is at 17:00.
