The South African Football Association (Safa) has confirmed that Bafana Bafana will welcome Madagascar to the Orlando Stadium for an international friendly on Saturday.
This comes after Zambia withdrew from their scheduled encounter with Bafana due to safety concerns following the recent xenophobic attacks across South Africa.
However, Safa has moved swiftly to find a replacement for Chipolopolo and Bafana will now travel to Soweto to take on Madagascar in their international friendly, which kicks off at 7pm.
Molefi Ntseki’s side will also have the chance to stretch their legs when they play Moroka Swallows in a training match on Wednesday morning.
