Hlatshwayo on Bafana Bafana snub: Unfair to be sad or mad at Broos

The 2016/17 PSL title-winning captain warned the 1996 African champions to respect Ethiopia ahead of the two teams' matches

Orlando Pirates defender Thulani Hlatshwayo has opened up his continued exclusion from the Bafana Bafana squad having served as the national team captain for four years.

The experienced player lost his place in the Bafana squad following the appointment of Hugo Broos as the new head coach in May this year and the Belgian tactician is yet to call-up Hlatshwayo since he took charge of the team.

Broos named SuperSport United goalkeeper Ronwen Williams as South Africa's new captain last month - replacing Hlatshwayo, but the Soweto-born player insists that he cannot be mad or sadden by his continued omission from the squad.
