Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has dropped Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa and the Mamelodi Sundowns pair of Thapelo Morena and Mothobi Mvala from his final 24-man squad to face Zimbabwe and Ghana in 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.
Group G leaders South Africa host Zimbabwe on November 11, before they travel to Cape Coast to meet Ghana three days later.
Morena is a surprise omission as Broos preferred Nyiko Mobbie and Kaizer Chiefs’ Njabulo Blom as possible candidates for the right-back position.
Midfielder Mvala on the other hand has been battling fitness issues since October’s back-to-back matches against Ethiopia.
