Amazulu striker to face Ghana

Mashaba has promoted Amazulu striker, Bongani Ndulula, to his team.

Rivaldo Coetzee and Brilliant Khuzwayo are also in the team to face the Black Stars.

Bafana Bafana must win tonight to have any chance of reaching the Nations Cup quarter-finals.

They will be up against Ghana who may end up needing just a draw in this Group C encounter.

The simple solution for South Africa is to win and to hope that Senegal do the same.

A defeat for Senegal and a win for Bafana would see these sides level on points and then goal-difference will come in to play.

Bafana will be out if they win and Algeria and Senegal draw tonight.

This because Algeria have a better head-to-head record having beaten Bafana in the opening Group C match.

Kickoff is at 8pm - South African time.

Bafana starting line-up:

1-Khuzwayo, 6-Ngcongca, 11-Matlaba, 2-Coetzee, 3-Mathoho, 15-Furman, 5-Jali, 7-Masango, 18-Phala, 23-Rantie, 9-Ndulula
