Orlando Pirates star Vincent Pule has spoken about his inclusion in the Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Pule is one of the players that have been outstanding for the Buccaneers since the start of the 2020/21 season, having helped the team to reach the final of the MTN8 after defeating arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs 5-0 on aggregate in the semi-finals.
