Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has outlined the plan for the friendly international against Botswana while highlighting his assessment of the latest camp as he closes in on 18 months in the job.
Bafana were 4-0 winners over Sierra Leone on Saturday and will have another lightweight opponent when they face lowly ranked neighbours Botswana at FNB Stadium (18h00).

"We have analysed the opposition of tomorrow and it was our conclusion that it will not be so easy as Saturday," says Broos.
On Saturday the Belgian had Khuliso Mudau, Veli Mothwa, Siyanda Msani, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Siyanda Xulu, Rushine de Reuck and Goodman Mosele as unused substitutes while Pule Mmodi Khanyiso Mayo, Melusi Buthelezi, Teboho Mokoena, and Ashley du Preez all came on from the bench.
"We will play with another team tomorrow (today) because that was the plan before this camp, and we don't change that so we will see every player who is with us in this camp.
"[This is so that] we have the opportunity to make a good evaluation about this camp.
"But then this is good because the plan is that past these two games we can go home with this group.
"Maybe it will change with two, three of four players and that depends on injuries, not in shape or whatever.
"I would like to go on with this group now so therefore it is important that we also have two victories
"So, again as I said it will be a totally different team tomorrow (today).
"That was the plan, and we don't change that.
"It is up to the players on what I said last Friday that everybody will get a chance, but it is up to the players to grab them with two hands.
"What I felt last week before the game against Sierra Leone is that this is a good group, the way they treat each other and how the atmosphere is within the group.
"When a captain is saying 'coach, if you want to change me to give a chance to a new guy that says a lot' and therefore, I believe in them and I have already said that to the players.
"It is now up to them to show it so that we go with the same group for the camp in November and that we prepare for the games next year very well.
"There will be a camp and we have confirmation from FIFA that between 14 November and 20 November it is a FIFA week and that means the clubs have to release their players," says Broos.
