"Even though Coach Hugo Broos frustrates me so much sometimes with his desicion and things he says, one thing I will never take away from him is the respect and dignity he brought back to Bafana Bafana," Nyakallo Leone AKA Ba2Cada wrote.

"We are now interested in watching our national team with no fear and it's all because of this coach. There are so many decisions he takes that makes me want to scream, but at the end of the day his record since he got here speaks for itself."

"I personally don't think it will be wise to change the coach now 5 months before the World Cup and coach Hugo still has my 100% support."

"Maybe sometimes as South Africans we take ourselves too serious ka football, the reality is that this man has given us some dignity, but in all honesty, we are not at the level we think we are.We are still not at that No 1 level in the continent we think we are in,but coach has done his best for us."

"We can't afford to change him now."

Warriors and Marumo striker Daniel Msendami addresses rumours he's being eyed by Chiefs and Pirates. Msendami told SABC Sport he's got big team ambitions, but is focusing on his current contract for now.

“We play in order to someday play for top clubs in top leagues, and I will keep on pushing and as time goes on I’ll get a better offer where I can go to showcase my talent."

“I don’t want to talk about my current contract. There was concrete interest in me before the season started, but if clubs were interested in me they would’ve taken me."

“For now, I’ll keep on pushing and try to score more goals in the league.”

🔵 Kobamelo Kodisang's loan spell in Portugal is ending early, and he's headed back to Mamelodi Sundowns.

🔵 Reports suggest AVS Futebol SAD won't be keeping him til the end of the season.

🔵 Sundowns' loaned player is struggling to get minutes under two coaches, and relegation-battling AFS plans a January squad shake-up to stay in Liga Portugal.

🔵 Kodisang, 26, hasn't impressed since recovering from injury, and the loan deal's purchase option looks unlikely.

𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗬𝗜: 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗙 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗛𝗨𝗚𝗢 & 𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗖𝗛 – Baloyi says Hugo Broos is keeping Thembinkosi Lorch out for non‑football reasons, reportedly because Lorch’s outspokenness in camp was seen as divisive.

Brian Baloyi, a Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana legend, says he's been told Hugo Broos is excluding Thembinkosi Lorch for non-footballing reasons.

“On the Lorch issue, I’ve been trying to understand what’s happening,” Baloyi said on Soccer Beat. “I spoke to a couple of people, including people who were with him in the national team, and I heard that it’s mainly off-field stuff that made the coach not take him."

“I heard that he was outspoken in camp, and they felt that it was dividing the team. In what way, I am not sure but that’s what I was told."

Durban City chairman Farook Kadodia confirms talks with Zimbabwean striker Washington Navaya as interest in the player grows.

“I spoke to him now before the boy went to the national team. So they are delaying it because they want the player to come back from the national team and then only they can negotiate and whatever," Kadodia told the media.

"But understand, they're very smart because they're looking to see if anybody can spot him. So leave them. When they come back and they get no offers, they must come to our terms."

Navaya's pedigree has been further enhanced by his recent individual accolades, having been crowned Zimbabwe Soccer Star of the Year after a prolific campaign in which he netted 17 goals for TelOne FC.
