Century looms for Mokoena

Aaron Mokoena, the South Africa captain, will become the first man to win 100 caps for South Africa in a friendly against Guatemala in Polokwane today. The achievement in reaching the mark drew praise from Carlos Alberto Parreira, his coach, who said: "Winning 100 caps is no fluke. There are few players in world football who reach this milestone. Aaron is one of those special breed of players who are committed, dedicated and have great character." * Agency
