Bafana Bafana head coach has explained the introduction of Grant Kekana and Thapelo Morena for Siyanda Xulu and Thapelo Maseko during Bafana's victory over Namibia in the AFCON.
A Themba Zwane brace and a goal each from Percy Tau and Thapelo Maseko wrapped up South Africa's first win in the continental competition currently underway in Ivory Coast.

Broos had made two changes from the the team that fell 2-0 to Mali last Tuesday with Grant Kekana replacing Siyanda Xulu and Thapelo Morena replacing Thapelo Maseko.
"You know there's not so much of a difference between Grant [Kekana] and Siyanda," Broos said.
"The only difference is that Grant is faster. We needed a fast player with [Peter] Shalulile and the running players. Grant is faster. Therefore, we changed it."

Xulu had come under some criticism over a woeful performance during Bafana's defeat to Mali, however, Broos insisted that the change was purely tactical.
"Siyanda didn't play bad [against Mali], but it was more a tactical choice. Also, Grant [Kekana] played a very good game today [against Namibia].
"With Thapelo [Morena replacing Thapelo Maseko], it's the same thing, we needed depth in our game.
"He's very quick, and we told him not to ask for the ball on the feet. Go in the back of the fullback. The second goal is something like that: Thapelo goes deep, good pass, back and a goal.
"The choices we made were tactical, and after a 4-0 win, I can say that they were good choices."
