Aaron Mokoena is the captain of the Fifa World Cup 2010 host nation side, Bafana Bafana.

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.
