TS Galaxy FC's chairman, Tim Sukazi, has revealed the club's crucial role in helping Khulumani Ndamane earn a place in Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana FIFA World Cup squad. The club prioritised the success of Bafana Bafana and the career of Khulumani Ndamane when sanctioning his high-profile transfer to Mamelodi Sundowns. Despite Ndamane being a vital cog in the Rockets' machinery, Sukazi believes the move was essential for the player to gain the necessary recognition for the global stage. The 22-year-old Ndamane has enjoyed a meteoric rise, especially considering he was released by the Kaizer Chiefs reserve side before finding a home at TS Galaxy. Sukazi noted that staying at a smaller club might have hindered the defender's chances of making Hugo Broos' final 26-man selection for the tournament in North America. The exposure Ndamane received while playing for Sundowns in continental competition is cited as the turning point for his World Cup prospects. Ndamane is not the only player to depart the Mpumalanga-based outfit for bigger stages recently. The club’s philosophy of developing talent for the international market was further evidenced by the sale of Puso Dithejane to MLS side Chicago Fire during the same January window, reinforcing Galaxy’s status as a talent conveyor belt. With Ndamane now set to represent South Africa at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Sukazi feels the club's selfless approach has been completely vindicated. The defender's journey from being discarded by Amakhosi to becoming a World Cup-bound star remains one of the more remarkable stories in the Betway Premiership over the last two seasons. TS Galaxy FC's scouting and development systems have proven to be effective in producing players capable of competing with the best in Africa. The club's commitment to developing young talent has paid off, with Ndamane and other Galaxy graduates making a name for themselves in the football world. The future looks bright for TS Galaxy FC, with a strong focus on developing players for the international market.
