Former South Africa coach Gordon Igesund says there should not be much concern about the calibre of the national team’s opponents for the upcoming international friendly matches, but the focus should be placed on earning some game time ahead of next month’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Bafana Bafana will play Namibia on Thursday and then wrap up their October friendlies against Zambia on Sunday. Both games will be played at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg.
The matches are in preparation for November’s back-to-back Afcon qualifiers against Sao Tome e Principe as Bafana Bafana seek to dislodge Ghana from the top spot in Group C where they are placed second.
