While both current manager Carlos Alberto Parreira and his predecessor, Joel Santana, have selected Sangweni for the team, neither of them wanted to tamper with their back four, which meant that Sangweni’s only contribution was minimal, even close to nothing.

However, Parreira’s attitude towards him has since softened after the towering Golden Arrows defender put together some solid performances in the Bafana Bafana colours, most importantly as one of the star performers during the four-week training camp the team had in Brazil earlier this year. He was also impressive in the build-up friendly matches in Germany and has since leaped to be amongst the players who will be seriously considered for a starting berth. The 28-old defender was born in Empangeni, outside Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, and he made his international debut in 2007 against Mauritius.","32E266777F4D5C3EAAE5984CDAE82227":"Lamontville Golden Arrows","156AB99B762676230C18DFFD85A3FAED":"","52D34B1F24A26AA271F2BD571AA0152C":"2","53F6A06F211D096A":"Orlando Pirates","68B71F6A7FE5F18E":"78kg","6F2A70628678CF42F2F15CA1EF3BF952":"","2E0C5ADB6636D43E":"186cm","4EFF01CD2A1AA8474DF07D17EF0164A9":"South Africa","826BE2C466376227EC096659909FEBC6":"Lamontville Golden Arrows","55115EEDFFE75225FD0E1787F70FC7CB":"2011-7","e_index":4};
