Hugo Broos departure as Bafana Bafana coach did not deter Rangers defender Olwethu Makhanya

Olwethu Makhanya sees the arrival of Pitso Mosimane as an opportunity for him to restart his Bafana Bafana career.

The Scotalnd-based left-footed centre back said playing regularly for the national team under previous coach, Hugo Broos, was something distant for him.

"Honestly, I wasn’t really nervous about the whole change of coaches,” said Makhanya on Metro FM.

"I just thought it was an opportunity for a fresh start in the national team cause I always felt like I’ve always been overlooked by the previous coach.

“So, for me, that’s how I’m seeing it – a fresh start and fresh opportunity for everyone to raise their hand and do what they can do for the national team.”
