Thulani Hlatshwayo is not intimidated by being made Bafana Bafana captain or meeting Nigeria away in a crucial 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo.

As captain and centreback for Absa Premiership champions Bidvest Wits, "Tyson" never shirks a challenge and dishes them out with an at times bone-crushing intensity.

It seems the 27-year-old will take to that task with the same relish - not talking so much, but leading by example. He has led Bafana before under Shakes Mashaba.
