In this week’s episode of LeKokoLaSpace, the team welcomed a special guest, international and SAFA scout Prince Sobayeni, to discuss the latest Bafana Bafana squad.
The conversation also delved into the hot topic of Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Lucas Ribeiro and whether he should represent South Africa.
His potential inclusion has sparked a national debate, with opinions split. Some believe the Brazilian forward, who joined Sundowns in 2023, could be a game-changer for the national team, especially as Themba Zwane’s career nears its twilight.
On the other hand, there are those who argue that the spot should go to local talent, with many feeling that South Africa has enough homegrown players capable of leading the team to an Africa Cup of Nations victory and World Cup qualification.
The panel also discussed Thabo Cele’s space with the national and whether he should be called up to Bafana.
They further examined the prospects of players like Cassius Mailula and Gift Links, debating whether they should be included in the preliminary squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin.
