Bafana Bafana head coach Molefi Ntseki has had to make two forced changes to his initial squad that will face Mali in the Nelson Mandela Challenge on Sunday.
Cape Town City captain Thamsanqa Mkhize will miss the encounter in Port Elizabeth due to injury.
Also withdrawn from the squad is Bidvest Wits goalkeeper Brandon Petersen who picked up a knock whilst playing for his side last week.
Ntseki has decided to hand Bloemfontein Celtic utility player Tshepo Rikhotso a call-up alongside Ricardo Goss, who replaces his club teammate Petersen in the goalkeeping department.
