Dare to dream Bafana Bafana fans? Well, former Mamelodi Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana certainly is. With qualification for AFCON 2025 cemented, Kekane believes Hugo Broos’ side can go one step further in Morocco, a year after their heroic semi-final finish, beating the upcoming hosts to produce the upset of the tournament. Wise words from Kekane? “Let me just congratulate Bafana Bafana for the job well done,” Kekana told iDiski Times .
“Coach Hugo Broos and his technical team, together with the backroom staff and, of course, the players, they did the job to see ourselves in the next episode, another episode of the African Cup of Nations. “They’ve done that,” the former Bafana playmaker explained. “You know, they deserve that.
And I always say we are that country that deserves to be in these competitions. I believe that we have players, we have coaches, we have facilities, we have everything. “We just have to always perform at that level to make sure that we put ourselves in the position of competing with the rest of the world.
“But yeah, we deserve that, and I believe that we will do more than we did in the last episode of AFCON. Yeah, we did so, so, so well, you know, bringing bronze home and this generation will, of course, do much. “And I’m happy that they’re almost doing the best, like the 96 team, I think they’re on the right path.
They just need to make sure that from the semi-finals, they reach the final next, and, of course, win it, because, I mean, they’ve got that team that they can do it.” Do you think Bafana Bafana will win AFCON 2025?
