Nomvete Returns To Bafana Squad

Moroka Swallows striker Siyabonga Nomvete is the surprise inclusion in the 25-man Bafana Bafana squad for the month-long training camp in Germany, named on Thursday.

Bloemfontein Celtic’s Tlou Segolela, Ajax Cape Town youngster Thulani Serero and Pirates Thulasizwe Mbuyane were however axed from the squad that returned from Brazil.

The squad leave for Germany on Monday and returns on April 30.

Moeneeb Josephs, Itumeleng Khune, Shu-Aib Walters; Matthew Booth, Siboniso Gaxa, Siyanda Xulu, Innocent Mdledle; Bongani Khumalo, Thabo Nthethe, Siyabonga Sangweni, Lucas Thwala; Franklyn Cale, Surprise Moriri, Lebohang Mokoena, Daylon Claasen, Lance Davids, Andile Jali, Teko Modise, Thanduyise Khuboni, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, Siphiwe Tshabalala; Gert Schalkwyk, Katlego Mashego, Katlego Mphela, Siyabonga Nomvete.
