South Africa made history when they reached the final of the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 28 years.

It did not end there, they went on to clinch their maiden Afcon trophy when they beat Morocco 1-0 during the final at the Cairo International Stadium in Egypt.

In captain Tylon Smith, Kutlwano Letlhaku, Mfundo Vilakazi, Asekho Tiwani, Fletcher Smythe-Lowe, Luke Baartman and Siyabonga Mabena to mention but a few, Amajita have enough fire power to set the tournament alight.

Now, Amajita are preparing to kick off their World Cup campaign in Group E against European giants France tomorrow night.
