Zungu: Bafana can be successful
Bafana Bafana midfielder Bongani Zungu believes the national team has the quality to succeed on both the African continent and globally.
The 27-year-old recently made his return to the national team after he was named om Molefi Ntseki’s 25-man squad for their upcoming Afcon qualifiers against Sao Tome.
Zungu was named alongside Itumeleng Khune, Kamohelo Mokotjo and Dean Furman, who also makes their return to the national team set up.
The Bafana midfielder will now fly directly from his club to Durban to join the rest of the squad ahead of their first training session on 9 November.
‘It means a lot to me, and I love playing for my country. We are growing as a nation and as a team,’ Zungu added.
‘We have got some quality players in the team and we have players who are willing to succeed both in Africa and also to try and go to the World Cup.
‘It means a lot to me, and I love playing for South Africa - hopefully we can be successful.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
