Bafana Bafana’s African Cup of Nations captain, Bongani Khumalo, has been dropped for the nation’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Central African Republic later this month.

The Siya crew recently revealed that the 26-year-old could face the chop after dropping out of the first team of his Greek club, PAOK, and it has now been confirmed that our predictions had been correct.

Khumalo has been left out of the side to face CAR, with Kaizer Chiefs defender, Morgan Gould, coming in to replace the former SuperSport United man. With regards to the captaincy, goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is expected to lead the nation for the qualifier.

Khumalo has started only one game for PAOK since returning from the Afcon recently, and it seems as though his place at the club is heavily under threat.

Bafana take on CAR at Cape Town Stadium on March 23.
