Black Leopards defender Thabo Matlaba says he expected his call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad last month because he has worked hard for the Premier Soccer League (PSL) club.
‘Festival’ also admits they have not done well as a team this season as they languish at the bottom of the PSL table with 20 points from 24 matches.
However, the 32-year-old explains he has tried to do his best to ensure Lidoda Duvha secure a decent finish at the end of the current campaign, saying he didn’t want to join a small team and just rest on his laurels.
