Two players have been dropped from the original Bafana Bafana Squad and replaced. All but five are still to arrive South Africa to prepare for the friendlies against Japan and Jamaica later this month.
Every young boy kicking a tennis ball around in a dusty township street dreams of wearing the Bafana Bafana Jersey. I mean, playing for the senior national team at any sport, representing your country, must be the ultimate for any young sportsman or woman – but obviously not for Mamelodi Sundowns striker Mabhudi Khenyeza, who has gone awol – again
Replaced by Richard Henyekane
Khenyeza was part of the 24-man squad that was announced on Thursday (05 November 2009) but failed to honour the national team call-up. The striker also failed to answer any calls from the national team regarding his absence.
Golden Arrows striker Richard Henyekane will take Khenyeza’s place. Also out of the squad due to injury is Mamelodi Sundowns defender Siboniso Gaxa. He is replaced by Lance Davids of Ajax Cape Town.

Mabhuti Khanyeza need to be carefuly as this might be career limiting. soccer career is very short he must not end up like the guys Scara Ngobese, Naughty Mokoena, Jabu Pule (Mahlangu),etc. This is the second time he does these things of turning down the opportunity.
Ja, and the Brazilians are really angry with him too – I believe Patrice Motsepe wants at least five Sundowns players in the Bafana 2010 squad and he also can’t believe how this guy, with so much talent is just throwing back the opportunities in their faces. There is plenty of talent around – Khanyeza must get his act together.
