Nothing will stop me from getting another Bafana Bafana call-up - Black Leopards captain Matlaba

Black Leopards captain Thabo Matlaba is hoping for another call-up to the South Africa senior national team.

The defender-come-midfielder was part of coach Molefi Ntseki’s 25-man squad which was due to play against Sao Tome and Principe last month.

However, the two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers were postponed due to coronavirus pandemic.

Matlaba, who was looking forward to making his return to the Bafana Bafana squad after a four-year absence, has explained he was disappointed when he learned that the qualifiers had been postponed.

“Yeah I was disappointed to be honest with you but it is something that was beyond my control because this Covid-19 pandemic came as I was to make a comeback to the national team,” Matlaba told Far Post.
