Head coach Hugo Broos says he has been impressed with his side's efforts in training as Bafana Bafana prepare to take on a star-studded Morocco in an AFCON qualifier at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Broos will be hoping that in-form talisman Percy Tau will inspire Bafana to a famous win over the favoured Atlas Lions who are ranked 11th in the FIFA world rankings.
"I'm very happy with what I saw in training from my team," Broos told journalists.

"I think my team is ready to play a good game and it's a good test for us but also to show the progression we made, comparing the game to one year ago in Morocco."
"I think the guys are ready for it. They are motivated, I feel that, but also as I have said in the last few days, the result is not the most important thing.
"We will do everything win that game, this is for sure, but maybe we lose it."

"These are games you need to progress, therefore a defeat tomorrow (Saturday) will not be a catastrophe, certainly not. We can learn a lot. We are still growing as a team. We are not at the level we want to be and we are working on it to be on the level we wanted in January.
"Therefore again, tomorrow is a good test. We can compare the game of tomorrow with the game of one year ago and see the pression and see the progression we made.
"We are confident we can play a good game. What I saw in training gives me confidence, but again, we are playing a good team.
Kick-off is at 17:00.
