New Bafana Stars Make Big Statements

New Bafana Stars Make Big Statements

Two new faces in the Bafana Bafana squad have opened up about being in the national team, which gives them a shot of making the Africa Cup of Nations squad at the end of the year. 

Broos included quite a number of new faces in the team for the upcoming international friendlies against Tanzania and Mozambique, with the hope of increasing his pool of players for selection in future.

Two players who have a big opportunity to impress are Orlando Pirates' Deano van Rooyen and Tshepang Moremi of AmaZulu, who both addressed media on the first day of camp in Polokwane on Monday. 

Van Rooyen is hoping to use the experience he gained with Pirates in the CAF Champions League to make his mark in the national team. 

"We had a good season. Most of our players got experience in the CAF Champions League. For us, it’s just to help the country achieve the goals in these two games," the former Stellenbosch FC captain said.

"It’s an honour and privilege to get selected for the Bafana squad. I’ve been working hard, and you never know when a chance will come, but it’s time now. I need to be myself and improve and give my best."

Moremi, who has been linked with a move to Pirates recently, has made some big promises ahead of the two matches.

"I am looking forward to keep on improving. I’ve been working hard and my aim is to see myself playing AFCON and the FIFA World Cup. I want to see myself assisting and scoring. I can attack and defend. I will work hard. With the games coming up against Tanzania and Mozambique, I am going to assist or score. I will get something."
