Namibia’s historic victory at the Africa Cup of Nations not only made football history but also gave players a financial boost with R300,000 in bonus prize money each. The team featured nine PSLbased players who highlighted the league’s role in nurturing African football talent. However, questions have been raised about the future of Makhehlene Makhaula at Orlando Pirates as his contract is due to expire in June 2024, with the club deciding whether to trigger his contract extension or let him go.
Hugo Broos, the head coach of Bafana, faces a critical challenge in modifying the left side of the team’s defence. He may consider substitutes for the centre of the defence to improve performance. Namibian football is strong in counterattacking expertise, and Broos must devise a tactical plan to defend against their threats. As the head coach, Broos must make astute decisions to guarantee Bafana’s triumph.
