Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos had some special praise for the returning Themba Zwane who bagged a brace against Sierra Leone.
The Mamelodi Sundowns star netted twice as the national side recorded a 4-0 win over the Leone Stars at FNB Stadium.

The Belgian tactician says Zwane may be the missing link for Bafana after his impressive showing on Saturday afternoon.
"Themba was very good today and I'm very happy. I said 'only fools don't change their minds'. I knew he was a good player but I just said we start something in September with young players," Broos told SABC after the game.
"But I prefer first of all to give the chance to young players but and now we did not find it. Why not change? You see, he proved that maybe he's a missing link in our team.
"At the other side we have to be a little bit careful not to be too happy because this is not France, this is not Ghana, this is not Morocco. But again the performance of Themba was very good."
Broos also congratulated the number of players that made their international debut on Saturday afternoon.
"You know you always have something in mind as a coach and you hope when the game starts that you see what you would like to see," he went on.
"And it was not that what I saw, certainly not in the last games, so I said to the players also this is a moment you start something new.
"And don't spoil the opportunities and they didn't spoil the opportunity so they listened very carefully but again I have to congratulate the players for their game today and I want to see the same performance next Tuesday."
