“A good win, but it’s clear we don’t have a South African assembled side that plays better than Sundowns. The sooner we adopt that team as our national team the better. But I’m more worried about Rulani and whoever is responsible for recruitment as they seem to be obsessed with S. America.

“Well done boys. Momentum towards a big tournament like Afcon is built through wins, even ugly ones! On to the next. #BafanaBafana.”
