After a nail-biting finish, Bafana Bafana managed to secure a 2-2 draw against Uganda on Friday evening at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

The match saw Orlando Pirates midfielder Thalente Mbatha score a crucial goal in the 90th minute, saving South Africa from defeat.

The game had been tense, with Bafana Bafana trailing until the very end.

Burnley FC’s Lyle Foster initially put South Africa ahead, but Uganda’s Denis Omeda and Rogers Mato responded with goals of their own.

South Africa’s next challenge is against South Sudan.

Nyirenda’s Bold Prediction for Bafana Bafana

Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Wedson Nyirenda, now a Zambian football coach, remains upbeat about Bafana Bafana’s prospects.

Nyirenda is confident that under the leadership of coach Hugo Broos, South Africa can make a significant impact in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Nyirenda, who previously led his team to a bronze medal in the last AFCON, believes that Bafana Bafana are uniquely positioned among Southern African teams to claim the AFCON title.

He points out that the next few matches will be crucial, stating, “The AFCON qualifiers are on the horizon, and it’s going to be a pivotal week.

Performing well in these matches could make all the difference.”

He added, “South Africa has made impressive strides under coach Broos, and from the COSAFA region, they are well-placed to achieve greatness.

They showed their capabilities in the last AFCON, and I am hopeful they will advance further and possibly reach the finals.”

South Africa will face South Sudan on Tuesday, September 10, while Uganda will host DR Congo on Monday, September 9, in another Group K qualifier for the Africa Cup of Nations.
