Bafana will bounce back: Mashaba

Oupa Manyisa gave South Africa the lead at the start of the second half, before defender Kara Mbodji equalized with a thumping header to earn the Senegalese a draw.

The result leave Shakes Mashaba's men with just one point to their name from two games. 

Bafana Bafana are bottom and has the toughest task to make the quarterfinals.

They must beat Ghana in their last match on Tuesday to stay in the competition and hopefully Senegal beat Algeria. 

Mashaba believes they can still surprise a lot of people.

''We are very much in contention. We can still surprise a lot of people. We should have scored at least six goals in our two matches,'' said Mashaba on the Bafana Bafana Twitter account.

In other fixture of Group C, Ghana beat Algeria 1-0.
