Aaron 'Mbazo' Mokoena revealed Carlos Alberto Parreira called both him and Benni McCarthy to a room before he announced his 2010 squad.

Former Bafana Bafana captain Aaron ‘Mbazo’ Mokoena has dropped a bombshell on the reason Carlos Alberto Parreira dropped Benni McCarthy from his 2010 World Cup team.

Parreria, who had won the World Cup before with Brazil before 2010, decided to instead bring along Bernard Parker, Katlego Mphela and Siyabonga Nomvethe as his strikers. Bafana were eliminated in the group stages, becoming the first host nation to fail to reach the next round of the WC. “That guy actually will tell you that if you’re above 11% fat percentage, you don’t play for instance. He believed that once you lean, you can be able to play in the World Cup.”
