This news comes after City’s 2-0 loss to the Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday and ahead of Bafana’s back-to-back qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations.
Mkhize and Mobara were already on the national field before the two games against São Tomé and Principio.
Bafana Bafana also announced on its official Twitter account that several other players had also been ruled out of the double header against the islanders.
“Thibang Phete, Thulani Serero, Andile Jali, Reeve Frosler, Thami Mkhize and Abubakar Mobara are out of the team to play Sao Tome on Friday and Monday for medical reasons.” said a tweet.
It is unclear why the other players from the team were ruled out.
