Bafana to face Cameroon in AFCON 2017 qualifiers
Bafana Bafana will have to overcome Cameroon, Gambia and Mauritania in order to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
The official draw took place in Cairo earlier today after it was announced that Gabon will host the 31st edition of the tournament.
Gabon co-hosted the event with Equatorial Guinea in 2012 and are now entrusted by CAF to do it all on their own.
War-torn Libya was initially selected to host AFCON that year, but concerns over players and spectators' safety pushed CAF to choose an alternative host.
Dates and venues for the qualifiers will be confirmed at a later stage.
