‘Shabba’ was quoted by the club’s official website saying, “It is a great feeling to be in the squad. There are a lot of youngsters in the squad now.

I think it is a step in the right direction and will benefit the country in the long run. I am helping and guiding the younger guys by giving them advise and motivation. They all deserve to be here as they have done well in their clubs and in the national team.

It is hot in Swaziland. We had our first training on Wednesday at 18:30 and trained again on Thursday at 11:00. We will be playing on Astroturf. Even though we played Swaziland before, this time they will be a closed book.”

Bafana Bafana are to redeem their pride after not qualifying for the 2014 Brazil World Cup next year. They will look to build their confidence as they ironically have a test in the likes of World Champions Spain after their friendly against Swaziland.
