New Generation Takes SA to the World Cup
It had been over two decades since SA qualified for a Fifa World Cup. Most of the heroes who carried the nation do not have memories of the country qualifying for the event.
Five of the 23-man squad members who inspired Bafana’s victory over Rwanda at Mbombela Stadium were not even born when SA last qualified for the global showpiece in 2001.
- Khulumani Ndamane, 21, was not born when Bafana last qualified.
- Mduduzi Shabalala, Malibongwe Khoza, and Samkelo Kabini, all born in 2004, were also not born then.
- Mohau Nkota, a year younger than them, is the youngest squad member and was not born when SA last qualified.
