Two players have been dropped from the original Bafana Bafana Squad and replaced. All but five are still to arrive in cap to prepare fro the friendlies against Japan and Jamaica later this month.

Every young boy kicking a tennis ball around in a dusty township street dreams of wearing the Bafana Bafana Jersey.

Benni McCarthy is Back in the Bafana Bafana Squad

When Carlos Alberto Parreira returned as head coach, the writing was on the wall, Benni Mc Carthy would be asked to come back. The door to the Bafana Bafana team would once again be opened to the man who has scored 31 goals in 76 caps for his country.

Steven Pienaar

Ajax Cape Town's Franklin Cale, who has been shining in the PSL, will join the Bafana Bafana squad in place of the injured Steven Pienaar for their two friendlies against Iceland and Norway.

The Ajax Cape Town winger was unable to honour his debut call-up for the national team against Madagascar last month due to a foot injury.
