Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen will be all smiles after reading this.
In preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) 2025 in December, Bafana Bafana face Zambia in an international friendly at Nelson Mandela Stadium.
DOCTOR KHUMALO MAKES A CASE FOR KAIZER CHIEFS STAR
One of the country’s most respected voices, Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor 16V Khumalo, believes Amakhosi’s Petersen should be one of the selected goalkeepers after coach Broos picked Ronwen Williams, Ricardo Goss and Sipho Chaine.
Additionally, Khumalo believes Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa and Sekhukhune United’s striker Bradley Grobler also deserved their chance.
“You can’t select a player that is not performing, you select based on performances at the club and the last seven games it was clean sheet for Petersen only when they played now against Orbit College, he conceded one after seven clean sheets,” ’16V’ said on the DNA podcast.
“He was threatening Itu’s record. He really deserved the nod, but the question would be there are players that has scored crucial goals for their teams but still they are not selected, [Tshegofatso] Mabasa and [Bradley] Grobler.
“The person to probably address this situation is the coach himself,” Khumalo concluded.
