SAFA have announced the withdrawal of Bafana Bafana winger Mihlali Mayambela from the squad that will take on Uganda and South Sudan.
The South African national men's football team, Bafana Bafana, will face Uganda in an away match on November 15th, 2024, followed by a home fixture against South Sudan at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on November 19th.
These matches could secure South Africa's qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Mayambela, who’s been withdrawn, picked up a knock when playing for Cypriot club Aris Limassol at the weekend.
He will be replaced in the squad by Stellenbosch FC winger Devin Titus, who’ll join the team on Monday after in Johannesburg.
