It seems that the Brandon Petersen case has attracted the attention of many prominent names in South African football, including stars from Kaizer Chiefs, who are keen for the current names at Amakhose to receive their full recognition.

The goalkeeper of Amakhoshi, around whom the dilemma currently revolves, played 14 matches with Amakhoshi in all competitions and achieved eight clean sheets through his effort and work. It is worth noting that he managed to keep a clean sheet in the toughest matches, and despite the outstanding performance of the 31-year-old with Amakhose, he failed to attract the attention of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos during this period.

What did Setlhodi say?

"It's a complex situation that lies entirely in the hands of coach Hugo Broos," Setlhodi commented to FARPost. "The final decision rests on his judgment of what benefits the national team most."

"While Petersen's current excellent form is undeniable," Setlhodi continued, "Broos' perspective would likely be that his current selections are effective. His approach would be, 'if it isn't broken, why fix it?'"

"There is a public consensus that Petersen deserves a national team call-up, yet the ultimate authority is Broos. He would argue that his current squad is meeting his expectations."

"Nevertheless, Petersen's performances for Chiefs are certainly impressive. He must simply persist with his hard work and not be disheartened; perseverance yields results. There are still significant opportunities ahead for him."
