SuperSport United midfielder Grant Margeman is determined to secure his place in the Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
The 25-year-old was called up by Bafana boss for the international friendlies with Namibia and Congo DR, on Saturday and Tuesday.
Margeman has two caps for South Africa and one goal, having previously starred for the under 20 and under 23 sides.
Speaking ahead of facing Namibia, the former Mamelodi Sundowns player said in the Sowetan: “I’ve been part of the junior national team and taking part in the Afcon championships.

“It’s always good to represent your country. I can always take that past experience with me and hopefully, make sure I can take that and put it in the senior team.
“It’s an honour for me to be here but it’s another step for me to see how I can take my game to the next level.
“It’s all about making sure that I do well in the next two games and make use of the opportunities that the coach will give us.
“I must make sure I do well, and consistency stays part of the bunch.”
Margeman added: “The competition for midfield places is stiff because we have many good midfielders in the country. You have a player like [Njabulo] Blom, who is doing well in the MLS (Major League Soccer), but isn’t here with us, there’s a lot of competition.”
