He praised the work done by Hugo Broos, saying that Bafana was on the right track under the Belgian Times LIVE confirmed.

As reported by The South African, Hugo Broos has big plans for Bafana but not everyone is convinced.

Fans who commented on the original story run by Sports Brief felt that with South Africa failing to qualify for the World Cup and AFCON was a clear indication that not all was well with the national team.

LJ Radebe:

"Vele future will always be bright, what happened to vision 2020"

Romanius Zulu:

"Qualification games for AFCON 2023 will start in two months' time but Bafana Bafana will fail to qualify as long as Broos is in charged. Do you think Bafana Bafana under Broos with his policy of selecting weak players can beat Comoros, Gambia, Equitorial Gùinea,etc. I do not believe this time around we will have a referee to blame as a scapegoat."

Ernest Phuti:

"Do u still remember the words of that inyanga from Eastern Cape? Bafana will always promise but won't go further until safa pay him 1000k they owe him - Daily sun 2018 August"

Oagile Lebese:

"I do agree with Danny but he must vacate the seat for Radebe to take us forward."

Syabonga Sthole:

"SAFA is a disgrace. We are not even playing in the world cup this year."

Danny Jordaan has full faith in Hugo Broos, thinks Bafana Bafana are in good hands with the Belgian coach

Bafana Bafana are in good hands with Hugo Broos at the helm. That's according to South African Football Association (SAFA) President Danny Jordaan who backed the Belgian coach to do big things with the national team, Sports Brief reported.

Hugo Broos took over the national team last year and has already brought in younger players into the fold. Under his watch, Bafana went on an unbeaten streak which only ended at the hands of Ghana due to a controversial refereeing decision.

With Bafana not playing in AFCON or the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, the team are in need of game time and will be competing against world champions France and Zambia next month according to IOL.
