Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Manyama repalaces Zwane in Bafana Bafana squad

Kaizer Chiefs attacking midfielder Lebogang Manyama has been called up to replace Themba Zwane in the Bafana Bafana squad that play Ghana and Sudan in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers this week.

The news of Manyama returning to the Bafana Bafana setup circulated on Sunday night but the South African Football Association (Safa) only confirmed it on Monday morning.

His last call-up to the national team was back in 2017, soon after leaving Cape Town City for Turkish side Konyaspor FC.

Manyama has been in top form for Amakhosi this season but Zwane's injury meant Molefi Ntseki had to reshuffle his squad for these two crucial matches.
