Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has been lambasted for inconsistent results as the South Africans will be expecting a better showing from the team in the upcoming matches.
Bafana opened their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Mali at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in Korhogo, Ivory Coast on Tuesday night.

Following the loss, Bafana are at the bottom of Group E log and just below Tunisia on goal difference, who also lost their opening match against Namibia yesterday.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana defender Lovers Mohlala hasn’t been convinced with the team under Broos.
“I still think that this coach doesn’t have a future with the South African national team. You look at all the matches he has overseen, the results haven’t been convincing. In the game against Morocco (which Bafana won 2-1 in the qualifiers at FNB Stadium last June), Morocco had nothing to lose. For me, the coach is a problem because when he planned to engage PSL clubs, he started with engaging the media. After that, he wanted to talk to PSL coaches and for me that is a problem. Complaining to the media doesn’t help with anything,” said Mohlala, speaking exclusively to the Siya crew.

“I read somewhere and Hugo Broos was quoted saying that Rulani (Mokwena) is (Jose) Mourinho, and I am saying that is his opinion. What I am saying to SAFA, let’s go suffer with our own coach. The same Hugo Broos, who is coaching Bafana, isn’t coaching any team in his own country. Before we went to Afcon, we drew against Lesotho (in the final friendly), and for me that doesn’t make sense. Let’s say Hugo Broos is a Ferrari and call the coach of Lesotho a Taz and you get people driving those two cars on the freeway at the same time, what’s going to happen? It is obvious that the Ferrari would do much better. Hugo Broos is a Ferrari that doesn’t take us anywhere,” concluded Mohlala.
