Bafana Bafana defender Nkosinathi Sibisi says he is honoured to be given the opportunity to lead the team when they take on Mozambique this afternoon.

Ronwen Williams is the regular captain of the national team, but the armband was given to Fawaaz Basadien for their friendly against Tanzania.

Bafana coach Hugo Broos has since confirmed that Sibisi will wear the armband when they take on Mozambique this evening.

“Obviously (captaining Bafana Bafana) ranks very high (in his list of achievements) and for me it’s a privilege and an honour to be able to lead the team, and I’d like to thank the coach for showing confidence in me,” Sibisi said.

“We’ve been together from the very first camp when he came (to South Africa) and I’d like to say thanks to him because there were sometimes question marks whenever I was here. But to be able to lead the team tomorrow will be a huge honour and a privilege for me.”
