Bafana lose duo for AFCON qualifiers

Cape Town - Shakes Mashaba's Bafana Bafana squad has been hit by two late withdrawals for the crucial AFCON 2015 qualifiers against Sudan and Nigeria.

May Mahlangu, recalled to the squad for the first time under Mashaba, has cited fatigue as the reason for his withdrawal while Wits' midfielder Sibusiso Vilakazi has pulled out of the squad with a toe injury.

Shakes Mashaba is considering calling up replacements for the pair.
