Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos is not happy with Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena's comments about the fitness of national team players.

Broos criticises Mokoena

According to SowetanLIVE, after Sundowns' victory, Mokwena mentioned that Bafana stars Ronwen Williams and Teboho Mokoena were nursing injuries. That irritated Broos, who believes such matters should be handled internally and not shared with the media.

Proper channels of communication

Broos highlighted the importance of communication through proper channels. He urged Sundowns' medical staff to provide a medical report to the South African Football Association (SAFA) rather than blabbing to the press.

"I love this man❤️ He tells the truth."
