South Africa begin their 2019 Cosafa Cup campaign on Sunday afternoon as they take on Botswana in the quarterfinals.
With Bafana having one eye on the Africa Cup of Nations, the tournament has been used as an opportunity to breed in new blood into the national team set up, and U23 coach David Notoane has been put in charge to watch their development over the course of the competition.
It has certainly not been the best of preparation for Bafana with withdrawals to key players but they will be determined to impress with the tournament being held in their own back yard.
