Doctor Khumalo gives his opinion on Hugo Broos's choices for Bafana Bafana Squad!

Legendary South African footballer Doctor Khumalo has expressed strong support for national team coach Hugo Broos's recent squad choices, specifically praising his inclusion of two particular players.

Commenting on the initial 54-player roster, Khumalo remarked that Broos is the first Bafana Bafana manager in recent memory to encounter such a welcome challenge in finalizing his team.

Broos is set to lead South Africa into his second consecutive Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, scheduled to begin in Morocco on 21 December 2025. The team has been drawn in Group B with Zimbabwe, Angola, and Egypt.

"I think this is the first coach to have a headache with player selection," Khumalo stated. "For the first time, I’ve seen a coach whose preliminary squad is more than 40 or 30. So he had 54. So clearly, there’s something that is happening within the PSL, and the players are raising their hands."

The Kaizer Chiefs legend attributes this difficult selection to an exceptional level of talent currently present in the domestic league, which he believes has created a highly competitive and strong player pool for the national coach.
