South Africa midfielder Thembinkosi Lorch is ready to work with new Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki as they prepare to face Mali in Sunday's Nelson Mandela Challenge in Port Elizabeth.
It will be Ntseki's first match in charge as South Africa head coach, having previously worked as assistant to his predecessor Stuart Baxter.
During his time as Baxter's understudy, Ntseki worked with Lorch, whose goal sent Bafana Bafana into the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals after eliminating hosts Egypt in July.
