The international break will ring loud for Deon Hotto after being tasked with yet another Namibia national team call-up.
Hotto has played every minute of the Brave Warriors' last 10 matches, which have included four at the AFCON finals and World Cup qualifiers.

With one full shift to his name at Orlando Pirates this season, Hotto has again been called up to provide width as the Brave Warriors get going in the bid to achieve consecutive AFCON qualifications for the first time.
Namibia plays Cameroon and Kenya early next month in Group J, but their coach Collin Benjamin has already made a commitment about who he will call up.
Hotto – who played 120 minutes against SuperSport United – will have Mamelodi Sundowns gunman Peter Shalulile for company.
The Brave Warriors will also have another five players attached to South African clubs.
For Hotto, since joining Pirates four years ago from Bidvest Wits, he has now played 167 out of 181 games played by the club.
Rare achievement by any footballer at the Soweto giants.
