Bafana Bafana star forward Percy Tau has revealed what he hopes for South Africa to achieve in the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Hugo Broos‘ charges will commence their World Cup qualifiers journey against Benin and Rwanda this month.
Bafana will face Benin at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, 18 November 2023. The side will then travel to Huye to take on Rwanda on Tuesday, 21 November 2023.
The squad assembled for camp on Monday, 13 November in Pretoria and will travel to Durban on 16 November.
