After netting his 13th goal for Bafana Bafana against Ghana in their AFCON qualifier during the week, Percy Tau moved to within two goals of equaling Siyabonga Nomvethe’s tally of 15 strikes and to No 6 in South Africa’s goal-scoring charts.

Current AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy’s 31 goals in a Bafana Bafana shirt still remains a tall order to surpass, but at this rate, might come under threat from the Brighton and Hove Albion sharp shooter who took his tally to 13 goals with that lone strike against the Black Stars last Thursday.
With age very much on his side it will interesting to see how far the McCarthy/Tau battle for the top goal-scoring spot will go.
Second on the all-time goalscoring list is McCarthy’s fellow Capetonian Shaun Bartlett who finished his international career with 29 goals while third spot is shared by Katlego Mphela and Bernard Parker with 23 goals each.
