Bafana captain Ronwen Williams says the return of Percy Tau has brought a morale boost to the team.
“From 2023, we have been very consistent. I don’t think there are so many losses. If I look at last year, there were only one defeat in the open that was AFCON against Mali. We wanna be at the world and show our work, so having Percy Tau back we know how happy Percy Tau, in form Percy Tau is a plus to us. Bonus so to have all our players happy, putting the problem aside, just coming here to stay focussed to the job.”
