Hugo Broos Slams Shocking Snub - Themba Zwane's Absence Rocks Bafana Bafana

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has expressed his disappointment over the absence of Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Themba Zwane from the national team's camp as they prepare for the last round of 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

Broos, who has been known for his straightforward approach to team selection, lamented the absence of Zwane, emphasizing that he did not deserve to miss out on selection.

Zwane has been a key player for Mamelodi Sundowns, consistently delivering impressive performances that have caught the attention of both local and international football fans.

'Themba Zwane is an exceptional player who has been in great form for his club,' Broos stated during a press conference. 'It is unfortunate that he is not part of our team for the qualifiers. His talent and experience would have been invaluable assets to our squad.'

Zwane's absence has sparked concern among Bafana Bafana fans, who are worried about the team's chances of qualifying for the AFCON tournament.

Bafana Bafana are set to face off against tough opponents in the qualifying round, and the absence of key players like Zwane is likely to make their task even more challenging.

Despite the setback, Broos remains optimistic about the team's chances. He has called upon other players to step up and fill the void left by Zwane's absence.

'We have a talented squad, and we are confident that we can secure the necessary points to qualify for the tournament,' Broos said. 'We will work hard and make the necessary adjustments to ensure that we are well-prepared for the qualifying round.'
