In the absence of captain and number one goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, Themba Zwane has been chosen to lead the side by head coach Hugo Broos, and Khumalo is fully behind the team with his support.
"From what he (Broos) has done, we rally behind the coach and the team. We just hope and wish that they will make the country proud like they did in the past games. I know that there are new faces in the team and all that, because the coach has also been giving a lot of youngsters a chance, and we support them. As these upcoming two games are important to win, it's very paramount for the country to rally behind the boys and fill up the stadium in Orlando like they did in Bloemfontein," said Khumalo, speaking exclusively to the Siya crew.
