Bafana will open the campaign when they face neighbours Mozambique in a Group A encounter at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening.
Mashego, 31, was speaking to reporters at the Bafana training field in Pinelands, Cape Town on Wednesday.
"It's so good to be back in the national team after such a long time," Mashego said.
"It's always an honour to be selected to play for the country.
"As a team we want to do well in this tournament after missing out on the 2014 World Cup.
"This is the only way to go forward for us as we prepare for next year's AFCON in Morocco."
The big blow for Gordon Igesund's men was the omission of midfielder Jabulani Shongwe due to injury.
The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder will be replaced by Matthew Pattison of Bidvest Wits.
Kick-off for the opening game is scheduled for 18:00.
