Helman Mkhalele, an assistant coach for the South African national football team, has enrolled in a program to obtain his CAF A Coaching Licence. The Orlando Pirates legend is taking this step alongside former international teammate David Nyathi and ex-striker Mpho Maleka. The course will be held in Maseru, Lesotho.
This qualification would make Mkhalele eligible to assume the head coach position for Bafana Bafana, a role for which his current credentials are insufficient. His pursuit of the license follows direct encouragement from the incumbent manager, Hugo Broos, whose contract concludes after the upcoming World Cup. The move is seen as strengthening Mkhalele's position as a potential successor.
The CAF A Licence is the highest coaching certification in African football, mandatory for those leading national teams. Mkhalele's participation signals a significant development in his coaching career and the broader effort to cultivate qualified local coaches for top positions.
