Newly-appointed head coach Hugo Broos on Saturday named his first-ever Bafana Bafana squad to face Uganda in an international friendly in preparation for their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign. Captain Thulani Hlathswayo is the biggest omission in Broos' new-look squad with just two foreign players selected due to the ongoing Covid-19 travel restrictions. Instead, his two assistant coaches - Chedomir Janevski and former Bafana Bafana winger Helman Mkhalele - will take charge of proceedings. SAFA unveiled Bafana legend Mkhalele as Broos' local assistant, bringing an end to a protracted appointment saga. While also being linked with former head coach Molefi Ntseki in an assistant coach role before Mkhalele agreed to join Broos' coaching staff.
