Mkhwanazi has featured in all 90 minutes of Bafana Bafana’s last five Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying games.

Mkhwanazi’s centreback job‚ and the manner in which he carries it out‚ is a thankless one because he’s not flashy‚ but if you pay enough attention you’ll realise how much ground he’s actually covered.

Mkhwanazi has featured in all 90 minutes of Bafana Bafana’s last five Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games playing alongside his Wits and SA skipper Thulani Hlatshwayo at the heart of the defence. That tells a story of how dependable he’s been for the national team on their path to reaching Egypt 2019. And also how quietly efficient‚ because‚ in all honesty‚ who noticed him there?

The same can be said of his value at the Clever Boys. He’s started 19 of the club's 24 league games this season. The statistic of just six yellow cards and no reds clearly illustrates how clean his game has been for a tough-tackling defender.
