Bafana Bafana and Zimbabwe have confirmed their starting 11s for this afternoon’s COSAFA Cup Group A clash at Toyota Stadium.
South Africa didn’t start the tournament as they would have wanted after suffering a 1-0 loss against Mozambique and now Vela Khumalo’s side will have to win against Zimbabwe if they are to keep their chances of making it to the knockout stages.

With the tournament having four groups only first place go into the semi-finals and South Africa is already on the back-foot. On the other hand, Zimbabwe played a goalless draw against Mauritius, and they will aim to get maximum points this afternoon to open the group wide open.
The two sides are familiar to each other having played each other in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers even though these squads were not with the same players. The Warriors last got the better of South Africa back in 2013 in a friendly match that was played here in Mzansi.
Here is how they lineup:
Bafana Starting XI: Mbanjwa, Msani, Okon, McCarthy, Moralo, Dlamini, Mgonyama, Nemtajela, Sebelebele, Mkhize, Radiopane
Subs: Mpoto, Johnson, Dithejane, Mfolozi, Duba, Ramabu, Letsoalo, Shabalala, Gcaba, Letlapa, Barns, Mcaba
