Mashaba announces squad to meet Cameroon

South African national team coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba has announced his squad for the upcoming 2017 CAF African Cup of Nations Qualifier against Cameroon.

The first leg of the crucial encounter is scheduled to be held in Cameroon at the new Stade Omnisport de Limbe on the 26th of March.

The return leg will be staged at Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium three days later. Bafana Bafana are placed at the bottom of Group M after losing and drawing their opening two fixtures.

“It's a must win game, if you look at the log, it dictates, even if we don't both we still have a chance,” said Mashaba.

“It's within our reach..we have lost players due to injuries and we had to bring in some, I have selected 25 players but we will travel with 20.”
