The dream: Brooks Still Has Hope Of Returning To Bafana

 Ethan Brooks, a midfielder for AmaZulu, claims he is making every effort to rejoin Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana line-up after being left out since March 2022.

I'll be just myself' - Bafana Bafana's Brooks on Pienaar comparisons | Goal.com South Africa

Brooks left TS Galaxy to join Usuthu before the start of the 2022–23 season. He arrived late in the pre-season and missed a significant portion of the season under then–coach Brandon Truter. 

Because of his involvement with the Bafana B team during the COSAFA Cup in Durban, Brooks had trouble getting going last semester. However, Brooks has started each of the five games this season for new coach Pablo Franco Martin.

New signature Rowan Human, who arrived at Usuthu late in camp after taking part in the COSAFA Cup in June and July in Durban, is going through a similar process. 

It has worked against him, as Martin acknowledged that Human, who was at his best with Maritzburg United in the latter half of last season, is still adjusting to life and is the reason he hasn't played much.

Brooks not fazed by Pienaar comparisons

In contrast to Brooks, who had to overcome an injury that placed him on the back foot in order to get going, Human's goal was to become familiar with the AmaZulu side and to regain his fitness.

Brooks has provided an explanation for why he has started this season well after being left in tears in November 2021 after Bafana failed to make the FIFA World Cup the previous year.

In November, Bafana will play Benin to open the 2026 FIFA Cup CAF qualifiers. The Africa Cup of Nations finals (AFCON), which will be held in the Ivory Coast in January and February of the following year, will come after that. On Tuesday, Bafana will play Congo DR.

In March of last year, when Broos' squad lost 5-0 to France, Brooks was last seen playing for Bafana and is eager to return.

Interesting: Mamelodi Sundowns is Mothibas' favourite team

Image
  Lebo Mothiba, a striker for the Bafana Bafana, claims he is a fan of Mamelodi Sundowns and that they are likely to be the only team he would play for if he were to return home. The 27-year-old was a defender for Sundowns during his early years before enrolling in the renowned Diambars Academy, which prepared him for a move to France at the age of 18. Mothiba signed with Ligue 1 club LOSC Lille and had an immediate impact with the reserve squad, scoring eight goals in 32 games over the course of three seasons. After making his professional debut with Valenciennes on loan in Ligue 2, Mothiba's performance won him a spot in Lille's main team. Due to his 17 league goals in two seasons, Strasbourg lured him away from Lille in a €4 million trade. He subsequently scored 12 goals in his debut season, earning him a spot on the Bafana Bafana team. Injury, however, has slowed his performance for club and country over the previous four seasons, and now that he is back in full shape and f...

Why Chiefs First Team Trio Was Included In The DDC Soweto Derby

Image
 Vela Khumalo, the head coach of Kaizer Chiefs in the DStv Diski Challenge, has given an explanation for why three members of the first squad were used in the team's 1-1 draw with Orlando Pirates. Some fans had concerns when Mduduzi Shabalala, Wandile Duba, and Aden McCarthy were assigned to the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium starting line-up. All three of them were given promotions last year, and Shabalala has consistently been included in match-day teams. We wanted to give Mduduzi, Duba, and Aden game time, Khumalo said to Super Sport . The first-team side has been quite busy. The first team doesn't receive that much playing time, and we want results from them. They are still young and capable, thus they belong here. It has been a while since they participated in a competitive game, so I am pleased with how they played. Shabalala has made a total of 26 first-team appearances for the group, compared to Wandile Duba's six and McCarthy's unofficial debut.
