The first Bafana Bafana squad for 2017 has been named despite the South African Football Association still not having unveiled the team’s new coach.


The 25-man squad was announced by the assistant coach, Owen de Gama.

South Africa will be playing in an international friendly against Guinea-Bissau in Durban on 25 March.

Three days later Bafana will face the Sable Antelopes of Angola in an international friendly as well, at a venue yet to be confirmed.

The team will, however, play in two warm-up matches against the KwaZulu-Natal based sides, Golden Arrows and Thanda Royal Zulu, on 22 March.

The side sees the call-ups of Lebogang Manyama of Cape Town City and the U20 Amajita stars, Luther Singh and Phakamani Mahlambi.

The Lens striker, Kermit Erasmus, as well as the FC Twente midfielder, Kamohelo Mokotjo, have received recalls to the national team.
