Treating a senior player like Kekana in this manner, whose stats this season belie his age, is disrespectful. Nkareng

Hlompho Kekana of Bafana Bafana and Barro Sidiki during the International Friendly match between South Africa and Burkina Faso at FNB Stadium on August 17, 2013 in Soweto, South Africa. By his own admission, Stuart Baxter had a difficult task selecting Bafana Bafana's squad to take on Libya in their final Africa Cup of Nations qualifier next weekend.

The coach must have spent some time scratching his head on who to include or leave out - what with his favourites Kamohelo Mokotjo, Dean Furman, Bongani Zungu and Keagan Dolly having returned to action after missing the last outing against Nigeria in November. But Baxter's headache is about to be even more compounded when having to select his matchday squad of 18 players, and then the starting XI, for the match in Sfax, Tunisia, on March 24.

Selection will have to be precise for a match that Bafana do not necessarily have to win to secure a ticket to the Nations Cup finals in Egypt later this year.

Nkareng I totally agree with you here. He could have just left him and we know how his schedule has been very hectic. Tebogo Mokoena or any upcoming CM would have been picked up to get experience. Actually Keke should be well managed considering his age

Nkareng Have Baxter ever said he us going to bench Hlompho? Are you now dictating to the coach how to choose his starting 11? Some journos though 🤦🤦🤦

Memories exiled to a room | Arts and Culture | M&GShooo, this concept just really touched me.
