12 June 2025 – Boitumelo Radiopane has admitted that South Africa needs to be more clinical in front of goals as they gear up to face Comoros in the COSAFA Cup semi-finals at the Free State Stadium on Friday evening.

Despite topping Group A, Radiopane bemoaned the missed opportunities that could have made their path smoother. The young striker is confident that the team has learned from those moments and is ready to deliver when they face Comoros.

“We tried each and every day to finish the chances we get in training because that is where the work starts. I am happy with the group of players that I’m surrounded with because we all want to reach the same goal, which is to win, and to win we have to score as many goals as we can,” he said.

“All I can say regarding our decision-making in front of the goals is that we need to be calm and not be selfish at some point, and if I’m not in a good position to score I just have to give it to the next player who is in the better position and to win the game for us. The only way to reward our defense is to score for them because they are doing everything well and everything they can for the opposition not to strike at us”.

Radiopane’s honesty and hunger reflect the spirit of a team that is still finding its rhythm, but refuses to back down. He’s one of several young players stepping up their game for the team, as they prepare to face Comoros. As the semi-final draws closer, the mood in the South African camp is a mix of calm confidence and quiet determination, with players like Radiopane knowing the weight of the jersey they wear and the pride that comes with representing their country on home soil.

South Africa is ready to fight for a place in the final of COSAFA Cup. The stage is set for tomorrow at 18:00 at Free State Stadium, where South Africa will lock horns with Comoros in what promises to be a thrilling COSAFA Cup semi-final clash.
