Johannesburg - Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba could become one of the assistants to new Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane.

According to the Sowetan website, Mashaba - who coached the national team from 2002 to 2004 - has been recommended for the post by SAFA's technical committee, which includes Gavin Hunt, Jomo Sono and Ted Dumitru.

SAFA technical committee conveyor, Fanyana Sebanyoni, is quoted as saying the proposal will be shortly discussed by the national executive committee.

"We want to see continuity in all the national teams," said Sibanyoni.

"Pitso will oversee all the programmes of [all] our teams and must know what is happening at all times."

Mashaba, who is the current U-23 coach, has previously voiced his support for Mosimane's appointment.

He said: "Pitso has been with Bafana Bafana for four years and it's only fair that he be given the job. I will be available to assist him wherever my expertise are needed."
