Bafana left Mzansi to face Uganda, according to the tweet below:

With only two uncapped players in the Bafana Bafana squad, the side will head into the match filled with confidence, while their opponents, Uganda, currently tops the qualification group.

With 10 points in the bag, Uganda have one foot in the Afcon door and will need a point to secure their place in the continental showpiece, as two heavy defeats could lead to disaster.
