‘I call for his inclusion at Bafana’: Pirates legend disappointed by Brandon Petersen
Orlando Pirates legend Benedict Tso Vilakazi says he was one of the people who called for Brandon Petersen to be selected for Bafana.
Orlando Pirates legend Benedict Tso Vilakazi has lashed on Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen.
The Amakhosi captain has made four msitakes this season which had led to goals.
Vilakazi, who called for the Kaizer Chiefs keeper to be included in the Bafana squad, has expressed his disappoitment at the 32-year-old star.
I’m disappointed,” said Tso on iDiski TV.
“Why am I disappointed is that when we call your name to go represent us at the national team, and then you come and then make a mistake like this, then I don’t know. I’m not saying he’s not a keeper that should not concede goals, but not like this. Like this, no, it’s uncalled for.
“I’m trying to put nice words in the action itself because it’s an easy thing. Step up, stand in that pole, the ball hits you here [on the body], you get the ball, done, finished. But Petersen I don’t know what he was thinking, and again, it shows me that he didn’t have that eye contact with the ball from that distance of that corner flag swinging in coming here.”

“I mean really, he should see that. I mean your action, you are covering. I know maybe somebody will argue and say the ball had power. I get it. But you are saying that seeing that ball from that corner flag… It’s possible,” Vilakazi added.
Petersen will not play Chiefs next game due to injury.
