Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim “Shakes” Mashaba said there will be nothing friendly about their 2015 Nelson Mandela Challenge against Senegal on September 8.

Bafana play the Teranga Lions in the 21st edition of this annual event played in honour of former State President Nelson Mandela to raise funds for needy communities. The match will be played at Orlando Stadium three days after Bafana’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritania.

“We are going to win this one,” Mashaba boldly declared. “There has never been a friendly game between nations. There’s a lot at stake. They will come here spitting fire and we will be prepared for them.”
