Thabo Moloisane To Bolster Bafana's Defensive Ranks With Caf Experience

Stellenbosch's rock-solid defender, Thabo Moloisane, is ready to add his continental pedigree to the Bafana Bafana defensive wall after receiving his long-awaited call-up to the national team.

The 26-year-old has been a key figure at the back for Stellies in the past two seasons, earning the trust of national team coach Hugo Broos just as hes been making waves on the continental stage with his performances in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Moloisane, who has quietly become one of the Premier Soccer Leagues most reliable defenders, will now make his mark on the international stage as part of Bafanas 23-man squad for the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin, set for 21st and 25th March, respectively.

An untimely injury to Kaizer Chiefs' stalwart Rushwin Dortley has opened up space in the national setup, and Moloisane, who has been pushing for this opportunity for some time, is poised to seize it.

The Stellenbosch defender joined the Bafana camp in Polokwane, eager to prove that he can offer something extra at the back when the pressure is on.
