Orlando Pirates Star Deserves Bafana Bafana Call-Up, Says Former Buccaneer

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Sifiso Myeni believes Thapelo Mokobodi has done enough to earn a place in the Bafana Bafana squad following his impressive performances for the Buccaneers.

Myeni has praised the midfielder’s consistency and influence in the Orlando Pirates team, describing him as the best midfielder currently playing in the Premier Soccer League. He believes Mokobodi’s performances have reached a level that should attract the attention of national team coach Hugo Broos.

Speaking about the Pirates star, Myeni did not hide his admiration for the midfielder, insisting that his contribution this season makes him a strong candidate for a Bafana Bafana call-up.

According to Myeni, Mokobodi has been one of the standout performers in the league and deserves recognition for the work he continues to put in whenever he represents Orlando Pirates.

The former Buccaneer also pointed to the number of Man of the Match awards the midfielder has collected as evidence of his outstanding performances. However, he made an important distinction between awards decided through public voting and those determined by an independent panel.

Myeni believes Mokobodi’s recognition has been deserved, particularly when considering the performances that earned him those individual honours.

He said: “Thapelo Mokobodi is the best midfielder in the PSL right now. I believe he deserves to be in the Bafana Bafana squad. He has been the best player right now. General Mokobodi, for me, is the best midfielder in the league. I think he deserves a Bafana Bafana call-up. He has been good for Orlando Pirates and has won so many Man of the Match awards, not the ones where we vote, but the truly deserved awards where the panel is there to decide without favours.”

His comments are likely to attract attention among Orlando Pirates supporters, many of whom have been impressed by Mokobodi’s performances and believe he should receive an opportunity to represent South Africa.

A national team call-up would be another important milestone in the midfielder’s career. It would also give him an opportunity to demonstrate his qualities at international level and compete for a regular place in the Bafana Bafana setup.

However, the final decision rests with Hugo Broos, who will have to assess the available midfield options before selecting his next squad.

For now, Myeni has made his position clear. He believes Mokobodi’s performances for Orlando Pirates deserve national team recognition, and he wants to see the midfielder rewarded with a Bafana Bafana opportunity.
