Gordon Igesund will be keen to make it a dozen victories since taking over the reins as Bafana Bafana head coach when his team faces neighbours Zimbabwe in a friendly tonight.

 

Following the disappointment of failing to progress further in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, Igesund will not only be seeking his 12th win in the 23 games that he has been in charge of, but will also use the upcoming match at Orlando Stadium to test the inexperienced players in his squad.

 

“Confidence is high and the players are in good spirits and we are raring to go and looking forward to what will hopefully be a lovely game,” Igesund says. 

 

“I brought Darren Keet to be assessed and so he will get some game-time because I have only read about how well he is doing and so now is the time to see him in action. 

 

“There is definitely going to be a lot of changes because all the overseas-based players are not here anymore.”

 

Goalkeeper Darren Keet is set to make his debut, while Buhle Mkhwanazi, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Tshepo Gumede and Lebogang Manyama are also expected to get a run in Soweto.
