Zebras take on Bafana Bafana :: Mmegi Online

DURBAN: Zebras have been warned not to expect an easy game when they meet South Africa's Bafana Bafana in an international friendly scheduled for King Zwelitheni Stadium in Umlazi this evening. The game kicks off at 5pm.

While the Zebras will be using the game to prepare for the upcoming 2010 World Cup/African Nations Cup qualifiers, South Africa are sharpening themselves for the 2008 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) which starts in Ghana on Sunday. Bafana Bafana have been pitted against Senegal, Tunisia and Angola in Group D games, which will be played in Tamale.

After beating Mozambique 2-0 at the Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday, South Africa is confident of overcoming the Zebras. "We wrapped our preparations today and we are looking forward to the game. Obviously Botswana is not a mickey-mouse team and we will give them the respect they deserve," Bafana Bafana media relations officer Sifiso Cele said yesterday.
