He really deserved the nod, but the question would be there are players that has scored crucial goals for their teams but still they are not selected, [Tshegofatso] Mabasa and [Bradley] Grobler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe person to probably address this situation is the coach himself,\u201d Khumalo concluded.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"458\" alt=\"Bafana Bafana squad to face Zambia\" class=\"wp-image-2406108\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chiefs-legend-questions-Bafana-coach-on-three-players.jpg?resize=640%2C458&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chiefs-legend-questions-Bafana-coach-on-three-players.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.thesouthafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-2025-10-29T062146.115-768x549.jpg.optimal.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thesouthafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-2025-10-29T062146.115-750x536.jpg.optimal.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.thesouthafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-2025-10-29T062146.115-960x686.jpg.optimal.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.thesouthafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-2025-10-29T062146.115-640x458.jpg.optimal.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thesouthafrican.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-2025-10-29T062146.115-255x182.jpg.optimal.jpg 255w\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos at the SABC studio in Randburg, Johannesburg.
