Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has confirmed where he plans on playing Mothobi Mvala, who has been in fine form for Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mvala initially joined Sundowns as a central midfielder but has taken his game to another level as a centre back since Rulani Mokwena was appointed as head coach.

The 28-year-old is a regular in the starting line-up and is a key component in a side that's well on its way to winning a six consecutive Premiership title.
Having excelled as a central defence, Broos has now revealed where he plans on playing the former Highlands Park player. Bafana Bafana are due to play against Liberia in two 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, in an effort to book their spot in the competition.
"First of all, I must say that I have always liked Mothobi. He is a good guy. He is not the most fantastic player, but he has a good mentality. He is strong, he is good with the head. He was always playing in the midfield and for us it was a rough moment when he didn't play anymore for Sundowns because he was injured," Broos told media after announcing his squad to take on Liberia.
