Pitso Mosimane has a new selection headache ahead of Bafana Bafana‘s return to action in November.
Bafana Bafana will face 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) co-hosts Kenya in back-to-back qualifiers next month.
The first match will be played in South Africa on 13 November before the two sides meet in Kenya on Tuesday, 17 November.
Mosimane’s tenure got off to a flying start with two wins from his first two AFCON qualifying matches.
He guided Bafana Bafana to a 2-1 win over Guinea before claiming a 5-0 victory over little-known Eritrea on Wednesday night.

WHO WILL PITSO PICK AS BAFANA BAFANA CENTRE-BACKS WHEN MBOKAZI RETURNS?
Now, having seen what the combination of Time Okon and Olwethu Makhanya could do in the last two matches, Mosimane knows he is facing a selection headache.
And that’s simply because Mbekezeli Mbokazi is getting fitter by the day for his return to full action.
Mbokazi has undoubtedly cemented his place in the Bafana Bafana starting line-up, but Makhanya has raised his hand since being given a chance.
The rise of the of both Okon and Makhanya has pushed the likes of Nkosinathi Sibisi and Khulumani Ndamane further down the pecking order.
And it could be worst for the duo when Mbokazi is fit again and ready to reclaim his spot in the Bafana Bafana starting line-up.
