“The team played well and I had a lot of mistakes that I need to rectify so that I can be better in the next game,” the Bafana Bafana international said.

“It’s not all about me in the team because everyone must be ready when the coach gives them an opportunity and I’m thankful for that. I’m always ready to play for the team because the coaches always push us to give more for the team so that we can move forward.”
