The Belgian tactician was not pleased that the former Orlando Pirates defender arrived late to Bafana Bafana camp, but his comments about it were deemed inappropriate.
The former Cameroon national team coach was also called out over his comments on Mbokazi's agent, who is a female, after the player completed his move from the Premier Soccer League to Major League Soccer.
The South African Football Association has thus released an official statement concerning the issue, and the Mzansi football governing body defended the national team’s coach.

Broos urged to apologise to fans
Sports journalist Moses Mbogo, in an exclusive chat with Briefly News, shared his thoughts on the ongoing situation involving Broos and the remarks he made.
He urged the Bafana Bafana coach to apologise for the comments he made, to clear the matter, and focus on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
"Hugo Broos went too far with his statement in my opinion, and needs to apologise to South Africans so he can move on from that," he said.
"Some people might not find his remarks inappropriate while some would, he just needs to apologise so the dragging can stop and focus on the main goal, which is winning the AFCON.
"The player in question has been one of the favourites, and he might not find the comment offensive. We don't know the facts yet as he's yet to speak, but reports have it that he and Broos have settled their differences, but some fans are still not happy with the Belgian."
Mbogo explained why he advised Broos to apologise over the issue and focus on the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
"Broos is highly rated by most South Africans after what he has achieved with the team since being appointed as the men's national team head coach," he added.
"He took them to back-to-back AFCONs, and now to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as they are currently unbeaten. He has given the country something to be proud of, and a comment should not tarnish what he has achieved with the team.
"I think he plans on leaving after the World Cup next year, so he needs to keep his reputation with the fans intact, so they will remember him mostly for what he achieved on the pitch and not for a comment he made."
