In the 97th episode of the Arena Sports Show, presenter Clauiee Grace Mpanza and regular guests Mahlatse Mphahlele and Sizwe Mabena are joined by South African Football Players Union (Sapfu) president Thulani ‘Tyson’ Hlatshwayo.
During the wide-ranging interview, Hlatshwayo said he has been highly impressed by the camaraderie in the current Bafana Bafana squad under coach Hugo Broos and his work at Safpu.
He urged the players to take the back-to-back friendly matches against Panama seriously because those two matches will be auditions for the 2026 Fifa World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada.
Turning his attention on domestic football, Hlatshwayo said his former team Orlando Pirates have got what it takes to finally go on and win the Betway Premiership.
As a player that captained Ajax Cape Town, Bidvest Wits, Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United and Bafana Bafana, spoke about the challenges of being a leader.
During his career, Hlatshwayo suffered numerous head injuries and he said South African football must take the issue of concussion like they do in cricket and rugby. #orlandopirates #sports #SouthAfrica #News
