South Africa beat Zambia 2-1 in the Cosafa U17 Women's Cup semi-final on Thursday to set up a date with Uganda in the final.
Bantwana advanced to the semi-final as Group B winners and they edged the young Shepolopolo, who finished as Group A runners to reach the final of the maiden age-grade tournament in Mauritius.
The ambitious South Africans found a breakthrough early enough when Oyisa Marhasi broke the deadlock off Wade's assist 16 minutes into the encounter at the St Francis Xavier Stadium.
However, the Zambians responded with a strong fightback as they gained the equaliser after Esther Banda set up MawetaChilenga to make a brilliant finish in the 27th minute.
