Khune warns Bafana - Zimbabwe’s no pushover in AFCON group

Even with their own team winning, a former South African star is already sweating the final group game. Ex-Bafana Bafana keeper Itumeleng Khune is warning everyone not to sleep on Zimbabwe at the Africa Cup of Nations. Talking after South Africa's opening win, he called their upcoming match against Egypt absolutely critical. His point is simple: get to six points before even thinking about the Zimbabwe fixture. He said Zimbabwe is always a tricky, tough opponent, a real derby that gives South Africa problems. He noted that a bunch of Zimbabwean players work in the South African league, so they know the style and tactics inside out. Khune basically said he will only feel comfortable if they face Zimbabwe, having already secured qualification with two wins. Right now, both Egypt and South Africa sit on three points, putting them in the driver's seat over Angola and Zimbabwe. But Khune's whole vibe is that the last game could be a massive trap if they are not careful.
