Morris to lead Bafana?

By Tando Mfengwana

Bafana Bafana’s interim coach, Pitso Mosimane, has revealed that he may give Nasief Morris the captain's armband for the African Nations Cup opening qualifier match.

The match against Congo will take place at the FNB stadium on Saturday.

The Cape Town-born defender, who has some captaining experience with the under 23 national side, told the Cape Times that the experience of captaining the under 23 national team was fascinating and it would be a great honour to do it for the senior team.

Morris, who plays for the Greek club Panathinaikos, was the best defender for South Africa in the last friendly against Namibia and should be the automatic choice for the centre half position — along with Aaron Mokoena.
