Broadcaster Andile Ncube has called on Bafana Bafana to consistently produce commanding performances against lower-ranked opposition, following their 5-0 demolition of Eritrea in an AFCON 2027 qualifying fixture played in Egypt.
The result was a statement outing for Pitso Mosimane's side, who controlled the contest from start to finish and supplied South African football supporters with plenty to cheer about across 90 minutes.
**Ncube Sets the Standard for Bafana**
Ncube voiced his thoughts on the performance via social media, making clear his view that a result of this nature should be the benchmark whenever Bafana face teams ranked below them on the continent. "This is how Bafana should be against the likes of Eritrea; we are a GIANT on this continent. Apollis has been spectacular," Ncube wrote.

His words echo a broader sentiment among South African football observers, who have long held that the national team should assert its authority when meeting less established African sides. Bafana's five-goal showing offered precisely that, and Ncube was quick to highlight the standard it sets going forward.
**Appollis Earns Individual Recognition**
Among the players to catch the eye was Orlando Pirates winger Oswin Appollis, whose contribution to the victory drew specific mention from Ncube. The 22-year-old has grown steadily in importance within the national set-up, and his display against Eritrea reinforced his standing as one of the more influential figures in the current Bafana squad.
The victory arrives at an important stage of South Africa's qualifying campaign, giving Mosimane's squad genuine momentum as they target a place at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. For supporters, the scoreline served as a reminder of the attacking depth available to the national team when they are operating at full intensity.
