Bafana Bafana to play Ghana

Johannesburg - Bafana Bafana will play their first game after the 2010 FIFA World Cup under new head coach Pitso Mosimane on August 11.

South Africa will take on World Cup quarter finalists Ghana at Soccer City in a game that will surely recapture the magic of the tournament that ended on July 11.

SAFA CEO Leslie Sedibe told the Siya crew that the game will be played at 20:30 and has encouraged South African football supporters to come out in their droves in support of the national team.

"It is a midweek game so it will be played at night because the SABC will broadcast it live. It is on a FIFA day and we are looking forward to having all the players selected present on the day," Sedibe said.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
