THE BAFANA BAFANA TEAM LIST


The match is being played in honour of former state president Nelson Mandela, and will act as preparation for the sides' respective 2014 World Cup qualifiers to be played in September.


Andile Jali earns his first call-up since Igesund's appointment last year, the Orlando Pirates star having lost out to Dean Furman and Kagisho Dikgacoi in central midfield while he recovered from injury.

Jali joins no fewer than five Buccaneers team-mates for the clash against the Super Eagles, although Pirates' CAF Champions League Group A encounter against Zamalek on August 17, three days after the international friendly, could see the Soweto giants deny the release of their players.

Full South Africa squad:

Goalkeepers: Itumeleng Khune, Senzo Meyiwa, Wayne Sandilands.

Defenders: Tshepo Gumede, Thabo Nthethe, Anele Ngcongca, Thabo Matlaba, Bevan Fransman, Erick Mathoho, Tsepo Masilela, Siboniso Gaxa, Innocent Mdledle, Buhle Mkhwanazi, Thulani Hlatshwayo

Midfielders: Reneilwe Letsholonyane, Siphiwe Tshabalala, Dean Furman, Hlompho Kekana, Oupa Manyisa, Andile Jali, Thandani Ntshumayelo, Bongani Zungu, Thuso Phala, Daine Klate, Lerato Chabangu

Forwards: Bernard Parker, Tokelo Rantie, Lebogang Manyama, Luvuyo Nomandela
