GORDON Igesund will decide on his Bafana Bafana captain before September 7.

The coach said on Tuesday that the decision would be made before the team takes on Brazil in Sao Paulo that night.

Will the new coach retain the old captain, Steven Pienaar?

Igesund sparked the debate over the Bafana captaincy last week at a breakfast talk when he said there were a number of competent players who could fill the role, pointing to Morgan Gould, who was in the audience, as one of them.

But on Tuesday the Bafana coach diplomatically came out with the assertion that “at this moment, Steven Pienaar is the Bafana captain”.
