SAFA release Chiefs' stars

Johannesburg - Contrary to Bafana Bafana media officer Matlhomola Morake's comments that Bafana Bafana wont release  the three Kaizer Chiefs players in the national squad for their away game against Tanzania on Saturday, they will now be released from the training camp following a request from club.

The South African Football Association (SAFA) announced the decision in a statement after earlier reports that Itumeleng Khune, Siphiwe Tshabalala and Reneilwe Letsholonyane would not be available for Chiefs.

The team departs for Tanzania on Thursday.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
