The South Africa coach has released the 31-man provisional squad to select from ahead of the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers
Bafana Bafana fans have reacted to the squad named by Hugo Broos on Thursday as the tactician’s South Africa rebuilding project is about to be put to real test.
South Africa prepare to travel to Harare to face Zimbabwe on September 3 before hosting Ghana three days later.
There were notable omissions such as Thulani Hlatshwayo, Themba Zwane, Sifiso Hlanti, Erick Mathoho, Itumeleng Khune and Thabo Cele from the squad announced on Thursday.
The Belgian picked seven Mamelodi Sundowns players and five from Kaizer Chiefs, while Orlando Pirates have contributed only defender Innocent Maela.
Goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, centre-backs Njabulo Ngcobo and Austin Dube, left-back Sibusiso Mabiliso and central midfielder Njabulo Blom are the Chiefs players selected.
However, some fans are not happy with all those Amakhosi players being selected.
With Ngcobo and Dube picked, other fans feel it is a message to Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter to consider the two ahead of Erick Mathoho and Daniel Cardoso.
But let’s be honest here most of the chiefs don’t deserve to be there

Hugo Broos is dishing free lessons to Baxter on how we should set up at the back.

That is very bold from Hugo Broos. Both those Centre Backs should be starting at Kaizer Chiefs, including Bvuma at goals. Baxter has no choice but to play these players in the next 2 games. Mabiliso too will have to get game-time.

If you think Hugo Broos is here to do favours or select players based on their reputation, forget it.
The man has sent a clear message that he is here to work, no time to play. pic.twitter.com/LVYVV0km1m

Hugo Broos is clear. Even if we don’t go to the World Cup, but this is the right path.
