The South African men's national team coach remarked after Mbekezeli Mbokazi joined the Bafana Bafana camp late, after leading Orlando Pirates to the Carling Knockout Cup triumph. This match was his last game for the Sea Robbers after completing his move to Major League Soccer.
The Belgian tactician also made a controversial comment about the youngster's move to MLS, referring to the player's agent in a manner some deemed sexist.
Moving on from Broos' allegations
Sports journalist Moses Mbogo, while chatting with Briefly News, shared his opinion on South Africans moving on from the allegations and focusing on more important matters.
"As I said, Hugo Broos is wrong for that remark, but I think at this point everyone needs to move on as there are better causes ahead for Bafana Bafana," he said.
"The main discourse now should be how Bafana Bafana can improve their performance from the last edition of AFCON in this year's edition, as I see them as one of the favourites to win the competition.
"South Africa winning the competition is bigger than any issue going on with the coach, as you and I cannot deny the fact that the Belgian has done a great job since assuming the post.
"Even after AFCON, there's a FIFA World Cup to prepare for, so there are bigger things to be worried about rather than focus on a remark."
Mbogo also shared his thoughts on whether the situation would affect Bafana Bafana's preparation ahead of their opening game at AFCON 2025.

"I don't think the uproar will affect South Africa's preparation for the AFCON, as the players are professionals and know the task ahead of them," he added.
"They've got the chance to put their name in the history books by being the second squad to win the AFCON for South Africa. That's a bigger quest compared to the ongoing issue with Broos' comments.
"They came close to winning the competition last year under the Belgian, and I expect them to go further in the competition this year. Broos is experienced enough in the competition to achieve such a great feat."
Bafana Bafana will play their 2025 AFCON opener against Angola on Monday, December 22, 2025, at the Stade de Marrakech, Ouahat Sidi Brahim.
