Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has revealed what he has learnt the most from the previous camp as a positive and described one player as a profile they don't have.
Broos made room for experiments in the camp for international friendlies against Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo after he called up players who have not been in the national team for a long time and others for the first time.

The likes of Kobamelo Kodisang and Thabiso Monyane made their debuts while Grant Margeman also made his first competitive start against the Brave Warriors after previously only featuring in the COSAFA Cup.
France-based Lebogang Mothiba was called up to the national team for the first time since 2019 and Broos says after the two friendlies, he liked what he saw in Mothiba, as he is a profile they don't have in the team.
"Mothiba is a profile of a player we don't have. I'm very happy with what I saw, certainly here (against Congo) for half-an-hour or 20 minutes," Broos said in a press conference after their 1-0 win over DR Congo.
"We don't have a player like that and there will be games where we need someone like him; strong, keeping the ball, dangerous with the head, big.
"So, okay this was looking at players we didn't know so well, put them in the team and see what it gives. So I think Mothiba was a positive thing," he added.
Bafana will reconvene shortly next month to play international friendlies against Eswatini at home and Ivory Coast away before they start their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November.
