The story
Buccaneers star Sipho Mbule has become a trending topic on the Twitter/X timeline following his surprise call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
This marks Mbule's first return to the national team since 2021, and his reintroduction to the Bafana squad has been widely welcomed by fans, many of whom took to X to celebrate his inclusion.
Mbule was brought in as a replacement for his injured Pirates teammate, Patrick Masangwanyi, who had to be stretchered off in the 75th minute during their 3-0 win over Chippa United on Sunday.
With the World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Nigeria fast approaching, the man nicknamed "The Master Chef" will be eager to showcase his talent—especially with both fixtures set to take place in his home province of the Free State.
Supporters are hopeful this opportunity will allow him to add to his four international caps and reignite his Bafana Bafana career.
