Orlando Pirates' man of the moment Kamogelo Sebelebele is among the headliners in the latest Bafana Bafana squad for crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Nigeria.
Bafana will battle neighbours Lesotho at Free State Stadium on 5 September, before hosting Nigeria at the same venue four days later as part of South Africa's World Cup qualifier campaign.

The 48-man strong squad was announced on Thursday afternoon and includes a mixture of youth and experience.
The usual suspects, such as Teboho Mokoena, Ronwen Williams and Oswin Appollis, are included to provide much-needed experience.
However, new faces like Kamogelo Sebelebele and Keegan Allan also prove that head coach Hugo Broos is keeping tabs on developments in the PSL.
Sebelebele has scored twice in successive games for the Buccaneers since joining before the start of the season, with his latest strike coming in a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch FC on Wednesday.

Broos will, however, be without the services of Themba Zwane, who suffered an injury setback in an MTN8 semi-final fixture against Pirates last Saturday.
Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has revealed that Zwane will be out of action for approximately months.
Both World Cup qualifiers kick off at 18:00.
