Bafana Bafana captain Aaron Mokoena

Aaron Mokoena is the captain of the Fifa World Cup 2010 host nation side, Bafana Bafana and one of Portsmouth FC's most experienced midfielders.

There's been a lot of speculation about whether South Africa will make it through to the knock-out stages of the World Cup despite it being on their home soil.

The hosts play Mexico, Uruguay and France in Group A.

When Aaron visited our studios in Bush House, BBC Fast Track's Peter Okwoche asked him about what it means for Africa to host this major tournament and how he rates his team's chances.

FA Cup final

Mokoena's club side, Portsmouth FC is now relegated from the elite tier of English football after a turbulent season of financial meltdown.

In spite of the club's woes, the team has booked its place at the English FA Cup Final where its compliment of African stars will come up against the newly crowned English Champions, Chelsea.

BBC Fast Track's Peter Okwoche asked him about his season.
