The hard road pays off as Nemtajela earns call-up

South Africa are set to face neighbours Zambia in an international friendly this Saturday at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha (kickoff 6pm). It will mark Hugo Broos and his men's first outing since securing qualification for next year’s Fifa World Cup in the US, Mexico, and Canada.

This will also be their only match after the Safa’s attempts to arrange a friendly against world champions Argentina fell through.

With a crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on the horizon in Morocco - set to kick off towards the end of next month - the team could have benefited from more matches to fine-tune their preparations for the continental showpiece.
