Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba has made four changes to the
starting 11 that will take on Ghana in the crucial must-win final Group C
match of the CAF Orange Africa Cup of Nations Equatorial Guinea 2015
tournament.
South Africa and the Black Stars face off on Tuesday at Stade de Mongomo. Kick-off is at 19h00 local time (20h00 SA time).
Mashaba has opted for Brilliant Khuzwayo in goals, replacing Jackson
Mabokgwane, who started against Senegal. This is the third goalkeeper
change in the tournament as Darren Keet played against Algeria in the
opening match.
Defender Rivaldo Coetzee, who missed the battle with the Teranga Lions
of Senegal due to injury, slots in at central defence in place of the
injured Thulani Hlatshwayo. Coetzee himself was stretchered off in the
opening match against Algeria because of a knee injury. He will play
alongside Erick Mathoho with Anele Ngcongca at right-back and Thabo
Matlaba at left-back.
Bafana Bafana has opted for an offensive line-up with Mandla Masango
taking the place of Oupa Manyisa in midfield while three players remain
unchanged – Dean Furman, Andile Jali and Thuso Phala. Furman will
captain the side once again.
