MNGOMENI TO LEAD BAFANA IN COSAFA CLASH

THABO Mngomeni has retained the Bafana Bafana captaincy for the June 18 Cosafa Cup quarter-final match against Switzerland despite the team’s 4-0 thrashing by the United States in the Nike Cup at the weekend. The 20-man squad, which will be without the likes of Shaun Bartlett and Quinton Fortune because of club commitments, contains eight members of the under-23 Amaglug-glug side.

The squad:

Goalkeepers: Brian Baloyi, John Tlale Defenders: Andrew Rabutla, David Kannemeyer, Cyril Nzama, Fabian McCarthy, Jacob Lekgetho, Matthew Booth Midfielders: Dillon Sheppard, Dumisa Ngobe, Helman Mkhalele, Jabu Pule, Godfrey Sapula, Thabo Mngomeni, Delroy Buckley, Steve Lekoelea Strikers: Benni McCarthy, Patrick Mayo, Siyabonga Nomvete, Sibusiso Zuma.
