Cape Town - George Coetzee and Haydn Porteous will represent South Africa at the European Tour's GolfSixes tournament this year.
The draw for this year's competition was made at host venue Centurion Club in St Albans, which saw the two England teams face Sweden and South Africa in Group D.
England, represented by Eddie Pepperell and Matt Wallace, and the England Women's Team of Georgia Hall and Charley Hull will go head-to-head in the second edition of GolfSixes, which takes place from May 5-6.
Lucas Bjerregaard and Thorbjørn Olesen, who won the inaugural event for Team Denmark will defend their title.
The Captains Team of 2018 Ryder Cup Captain Thomas Bjørn and 2019 Solheim Cup Captain Catriona Matthew were drawn alongside 2016 runners-up Australia, Spain and South Korea in Group B.
Team Denmark will take on Thailand, the United States and the European Women's Team of Suzann Pettersen and Mel Reid.
The final wildcard team, Ireland, represented by Paul Dunne and Gavin Moynihan, were drawn against France, Italy and Scotland in Group C.
The 16 teams will compete over six holes in a group stage, with teams split into four groups of four, before the top two teams from each group progress to the knockout stages - the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, a third/fourth place play-off match and the final.
In the group stages, three points will be given for victory with one point awarded for a draw and the matches will be played in a greensomes match play format.
Once again the six holes will be themed, with the popular shot clock hole returning - with a penalty imposed if players take longer than 30 seconds per shot - alongside the long drive and closest to the pin holes.
The innovative six-hole competition will have a festival feel with a centrally-located Fan Zone full of entertainment for all the family.
