This Morning Shakes Mashaba named the Bafana Bafana squad to face Costa Rica and Honduras in their tour of Central America beginning October 9th. The squad featured most of the usual suspects with minimal changes being made to the squad that lost to Mautiana and beat Senegal earlier this month. A new and much deserved face to the team in the court of public opinion, was George Lebese. The Kaizer Chiefs attacking midfielder has gotten out of the starting blocks blazing this season and Bafana coach Mashaba would probably have been accused of being short of sight had he not included the 26 year old in the team. Lebese has been capped by the national team before, but his last appearance was in 2012 and his cumulative experience is just 20 total minutes of play. This season Lebese has scored a total of 6 goals in 8 appearances for his domestic club and is arguably in the best form of his career. I personally am an advocate on going on players current form when it comes to call ups to the national team, hopefully Lebese can continue in this vain and bring some spark to a Bafana team that could use some added flair.
The whole Bafana squad is named below:
Goalkeepers:
Itumeleng Khune, Jackson Mabokgwane, Ronwen Williams
Defenders:
Rivaldo Coetzee, Clayton Daniels, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Mzikayise Mashaba, Erick Mathoho, Thabo Matlaba, Siyabonga Nhlapo Anele Ngcongca,
Midfielders:

Strikers:
