Pirates star Patrick Maswanganyi is one of 10 new faces in the group compared to that which reached the Afcon semi-finals. The

”I don’t think about him, I don’t think about replacing Themba now. But we must think, Themba is 35, he will be 37 in 2006, so we have to be ready – and hope that Maswanganyi is the one and will solve that problem for the future,” added Broos. ”Ok, 25, this is the guy for the next seven years, if he is good enough, he should be good for 2006. I prefer the younger guys, this is the future,” he concluded.FCSB defender Siyabonga Ngezana is in the Bafana squad. South Africa contests friendlies against Andorra on March 21 and Algeria on March 26. Broos says 26-year-old . Ngezana has been in supreme form for the Romanian SuperLiga leaders.

“He was playing very well in Romania, but he had never been with us so in the end we didn’t make the change. Now he has again been playing very well in Romania … Siyanda is a certain age and we have to look also to the future. If Ngezana can give us the same level he has in Romania, we could be settled again for the future.”
