Mamelodi Sundowns winger Siyanda Ndlovu has earned his first senior Bafana Bafana call-up following a series of impressive performances that have attracted the attention of head coach Pitso Mosimane.

The 23-year-old attacker has enjoyed an encouraging spell since joining Sundowns from Lamontville Golden Arrows. Despite competing against several experienced and talented players at Chloorkop, Ndlovu has managed to make his presence felt through his pace, creativity and ability to trouble opposition defenders.

His impressive displays have now earned him an opportunity to represent South Africa in the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Kenya.

Mosimane explained that Ndlovu's recent performances played an important role in his decision to include the youngster in the national team squad. The Bafana coach pointed out that the winger has collected two Man of the Match awards in his last four appearances, demonstrating the consistency and influence he has brought to Sundowns.

The national team coach also highlighted several qualities that make Ndlovu an exciting attacking option. His ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations, create scoring opportunities and exploit spaces behind opposition defences has reportedly impressed the technical team.

However, receiving his first national team invitation does not automatically guarantee playing time. Mosimane intends to assess the winger during training before determining whether he is ready to feature in the upcoming encounters.

Bafana Bafana will host Kenya at Orlando Stadium on November 13 before travelling to Nairobi for the return fixture on November 17, 2026.

For Ndlovu, the call-up represents an important milestone in his career. Having established himself as an exciting performer at Sundowns, he now has an opportunity to prove that he can deliver at international level.

Supporters will be eager to see whether the youngster can turn his first Bafana Bafana invitation into a senior international debut.
