The newly appointed coach's selection has come under fire following the inclusion of two controversial names for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers. Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye has voiced his confusion over the decision to call up players who are currently struggling for regular minutes or form at club level.
