Bafana Bafana Group Confirmed:
๐ฒ๐ฝ Mexico

Hugo Broos confirms 70% of his selection is in his head, only a few spots up for grabs. A couple question marks still for Broos in my opinion.
Who will play up front?
2nd choice goalkeeper?
Best centre back to play with Mbokazi?
Is there a structure we can play that allows for Appollis, Zwane and Mofokeng?
Whatโs your biggest concern for Bafana Bafana heading into the 2026 World Cup? ๐ญ๐ค
This country owes a profound, immeasurable debt to General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. It is not an exaggeration to say that without his courage, without his refusal to bow, to be silenced, to look away, we would still be trapped in darkness, blind to the rot eating away at the very foundations of our democracy.
And let us be clear: we are not saying he is an angel, angels belong in heaven. He is human, like all of us, with flaws and limitations. But it is precisely because he is human, and still chose courage over fear, truth over silence, that his actions matter so deeply.
Without him, we were bound to repeat the mistakes of the past. To continue down a familiar and dangerous road where corruption is normalised, where institutions are hollowed out, where those who know choose silence, and where the truth is buried beneath fear and convenience. History has shown us this pattern before. This time, someone disrupted it.
It takes a rare kind of bravery to stand up when the system itself is compromised. To speak when silence is safer. To act when inaction is rewarded. General Mkhwanazi chose the lonely, dangerous path of truth and because of that, the country now knows what was meant to remain hidden.
But what has been revealed is only a glimpse. A crack in a much deeper, more terrifying reality.
How I wish deeply, urgently that the Madlanga Commission can be permanent and move from province to province, from department to department, from municipality to municipality, tearing the veil wherever it goes. Let it go to every corner of this country. Let it listen. Let it expose. Let it name what so many already know but fear to say.
Because what we are seeing in Ekurhuleni, in Tshwane, and within the police is not the whole story it is only the tip of a massive, dangerous iceberg. Beneath the surface lies a system riddled with corruption, decay, and betrayal of the people.
This is not about isolated failures. It is about a crisis of the state itself.
And yet, in the midst of this darkness, individuals like General Mkhwanazi remind us that courage still exists. That integrity has not been completely extinguished. That truth, no matter how suppressed, will always find a voice.
The question is no longer whether the truth is there it is whether we, as a nation, will have the courage to follow where it leads.
[COMMENT]
Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is National Commissioner material. His years of experience in policing, his operational leadership, and his deep understanding of crime intelligence and investigations set him apart.
He is not a desk-bound officer โ he has consistently demonstrated a hands-on approach to policing, taking decisive action in high-pressure situations.
At a time when public trust in law enforcement is under strain, leaders who combine discipline, integrity, and real-world experience are exactly what the country needs.
Mkhwanaziโs track record in tackling serious and organised crime, as well as his willingness to confront difficult issues within the system, speaks volumes about his leadership capacity.
He understands the complexities of policing in South Africa and has shown that he is not afraid to act.
South Africa needs strong, credible, and experienced leadership at the highest level of the police service.
On merit, Lieutenant-General Mkhwanazi fits that profile.
