AFTER a patch of strong showing for Chicago Fire winger Puso Dithejane is a shoe in for upcoming Bafana Bafana Afcon qualifiers.

Relebohile Mofokeng and Puso Dithejane are finding their rhythm at the perfect time for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Chicago Fire, respectively, ahead of Bafana Bafana’s 2027 Afcon qualifiers against Guinea and Eritrea this month.

Mofokeng netted his second goal for Saint-Gilloise in the Jupiler Pro League during their 3-0 victory over Sint-Truidense VV on Wednesday. He struck the third goal of the match, curling home a brilliant finish from inside the box.

That strike marked Mofokeng's second league goal in Belgium since his high-profile transfer from Orlando Pirates following Bafana Bafana’s Fifa World Cup campaign where they finished in the Round of 32.

Meanwhile, Dithejane has enjoyed a breathtaking restart with the Chicago Fire post-World Cup. He earned the club's July/August Player of the Month award on Wednesday after contributing four goals and three assists across all competitions.
