U- McKenzie wenza izithembiso ezinkulu zemali kwiBafana

Umphathiswa wezemidlalo uGayton McKenzie uthembise malunga nezigidi ezi-5 zeerandi kwiibhonasi kwiqela leBafana Bafana nakwiqela lobuchwephesha emva kokungena kwiNdebe yeHlabathi yeFIFA ka-2026.

UGayton McKenzie wenze isibhengezo esothusayo ngaphakathi kwigumbi lokunxiba emva kokuphumelela koMzantsi Afrika ngo’3-0 kwiRwanda.

Impumelelo ebiseMbombela Stadium ngoLwesibini ebusuku iqinisekise indawo ephezulu kuGroup C yaze yaphelisa imbalela yeNdebe yeHlabathi yeminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu kuBafana.

“Into eniyenzileyo namhlanje ifuna ukuthathelwa ingqalelo,” utshilo uMcKenzie kubadlali. “Ndiza kukunika into.

“Kodwa kufuneka kwabelwane ngayo kuni nonke. Siza kunenza nonwabe kuba nilenzile ilizwe lonwabe.”

Kokokuqala uMzantsi Afrika ukungenela umboniso wehlabathi ngokugqwesa ukusukela ngo-2002.

Ngaphandle kweziphumo ezimbalwa eziguquguqukayo endleleni, kubandakanywa ukutsalwa kweZimbabwe kunye nokutsalwa kwamanqaku amathathu okuye kwaphakamisa amathandabuzo, uGayton McKenzie uthe akazange alahle ukholo.

“Babethandabuza kwaye behleka, kodwa abafana bethu badlala ngentliziyo,” utshilo. INigeria ayisincedanga; siyidlalile ibhola yethu, kwaye saphumelela.

Umphathiswa ukwagcine indumiso ekhethekileyo kumqeqeshi oyintloko u-Hugo Broos, oza kubuyela kwiNdebe yeHlabathi kwiminyaka engama-40 emva kokubonakala kwakhe okokugqibela ngeli xesha njengomqeqeshi, ehambe njengomdlali neBelgium ngo-1986.

“Phambi kokuba uHugo Broos abe ngumqeqeshi, iBafana Bafana ibiyintlekisa,” utshilo uMcKenzie ngokuzingca.
