Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has named a much-changed line-up to face the Democratic Republic of Congo in their international friendly at Orlando Stadium tonight.
The likes of Percy Tau, Mihali Mayambela and Zakhele Lepasa returns to the fold from the players benched in the 0-0 draw with Namibia this past weekend.
DR Congo arrived in a buoyant mood after sealing their place at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after their 2-0 win over Sudan at the Stade des Martyrs.
Having played their final Group I clash where they topped the group and qualified alongside Mauritania, it’s a full-strength squad available to coach Sebastien Desabre and a real test for Bafana to get something out of the encounter.
Broos stated they will be playing for victory with a changed mentality, as he wouldn’t want to end the international break without a morale-boosting win for his squad heading into the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and final friendlies before AFCON.
The game kicks off at eSgodini at 17h00.
South Africa XI: Goss, Mobbie, Xulu, Mvala, Maela, Mbunjana, Aubaas, Foster, Tau, Mayambela, Lepasa
Mothwa, Sibisi, Kekana, Modiba, Monyane, Mmodi, Margeman, Saleng, Kodisang, Sithole, Mothiba
DR Congo XI: Mpasi Nzau, Kayembe, Ikoko, Inonga, Bushiri, Mfulu, Akolo, Muleka, Vumpa, Wissa, Kayembe
