Former Bafana Bafana striker Katlego Mashego has urged the team to stay focused and determined as they approach their final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against South Sudan. Even though they’ve already secured a place in the tournament in Morocco, Mashego believes it’s essential for Bafana to finish their qualification campaign with a perfect record. The team is currently top of Group K and needs to clinch a victory to maintain their strong position as they look ahead to the continental competition.
Mashego highlighted that a win in this final match would not only boost the team’s confidence but also send a clear message about their intentions for the upcoming AFCON tournament. He stressed that they should not take their foot off the gas, as finishing strong will give them positive momentum going into Morocco. Bafana Bafana’s successful qualification has been a testament to the work done by head coach Hugo Broos and the team’s overall progress.
This final fixture is seen as an important opportunity for Bafana Bafana to assert their dominance and keep building on the success of their qualifying campaign. Despite some injury setbacks to key players, the squad remains confident under Broos’ leadership and aims to end the group stages with a strong performance.
