South Africa and Mozambique will trade tackles in a friendly at the Mbombela Stadium on Thursday (November 17).
The Bafana Bafana will look to build on their 1-0 home victory over Bostwana in a friendly during the last international window. Teboho Mokoena's 38th-minute strike was the difference between the two teams.
Mozambique, meanwhile, have not been in action since a goalless draw at home in the second leg of their African Nations Championship qualifier against Malawi. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, allowing the Mozambiquans to qualify on away goals.
