Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has told midfielder Sipho Mbule that he can earn a place in the national side if he keeps pushing himself.

On loan at Sekhukhune United from PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns, the midfielder was omitted from the final Bafana side after being named in the preliminary squad.

Mbule has three Bafana appearances, and since moving to Sekhukhune, his career has experienced a revival after he struggled for game time at Sundowns.

Sipho Mbule has impressed Hugo Broos

Broos speaks about Mbule in the tweet below:

According to iDiski Times, Broos said Mbule has been playing well at Sekhukhune and narrowly missed out on selection for the Afcon qualifiers in November 2024.

Broos said:

“He was with us initially, but his performances went down after that. Let’s hope he now understands that it’s not enough to have talent; you must also be able to show your talent. And little by little, he’s doing it now in Sekhukhune. So let’s hope he confirms it in the next weeks and months.”

Fans say Broos made a mistake

Local football fans said on social media that Broos made a mistake by leaving Mbule out of the squad as they believed he could fill the gap left by the injured Themba Zwane.
