Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane slammed one of the local journalists, who asked about the absence of Mbekezeli Mbokazi in their 2-2 draw with Kenya.
Mosimane and his men were held to a 2-2 draw by Benni McCarthy’s Kenya after a late equaliser by Ryan Ogam, dropping two valuable points.
Mosimane had opted for the centre-back pairing or Olwethu Makhanya and Ime Okon who had started the first two 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with returnee Mbokazi starting on the bench.

“Ahh come on guys, you can’t go there,” he replied.
“Come on, you don’t want me to lose respect of you. You can’t go there.

“You can better than what you’re saying, right?
