Moroka Swallows maestro Lerato Chabangu is ecstatic over his call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad set to face Malawi.

The 27-year-old has been a regular feature in the senior national team set-up since former Swallows coach Gordon Igesund took over reigns.

He has since put his hand up to be counted as a definite part of the squad that will do duty at the 2013 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) to be played on his home turf.

Mr 'All You Need Is Love', however, remains humble about his return to regular international football action.

"It's great to be called up again, but there is still a lot of work to do to stay up there," Chabangu told morokaswallows.co.za.

"I thank God and my loved ones for all the support they have given me to be where I am today.

"I have to balance between the pressure that we are under at Swallows because we need to get a positive result, and that of national football.

"I also hope to get through the remaining upcoming national matches without injury so that I can continue improving."
