What's the story?
In what will be crucial AFCON qualifiers against Ghana on Thursday and then Sudan this coming Sunday, fans have pledged their allegiance to coach Molefi Ntseki's charges.
Before the clash against Ghana, Ntseki ringed in a couple of changes, roping in five more stars to the national team fold as a result of some players having issues with travelling to South Africa due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Adding to the squad, Lebohang Maboe, Thabiso Kutumela, Thabo Nodada, Mothobi Mvala and Vincent Pule now see themselves alongside the rest of the squad.

Supporters on social media have been vocal regarding the squad in recent days as the national squad became a trending topic on Twitter.
Many have taken the time to wish Bafana well in a bid to qualify for the African showpiece, while some debated who should be getting the nod in the respective ties.
