Orlando Pirates' Mbekezeli Mbokazi and Mohau Nkota are among the 41-man preliminary squad named by Hugo Broos for Bafana Bafana's upcoming friendly matches.
South Africa will be up against Tanzania and a second opponent to be confirmed in the coming days, in two friendly matches set for the next FIFA calendar dates (June 2-10).

The Belgian mentor had insisted that he intended to use the two friendly matches as part of a process to integrate a younger generation of players into the national team.
Mbokazi and Nkota are joined by Kaizer Chiefs' Mduduzi Shabalala and Club Brugge's Shandre Campbell.
TS Galaxy's Puso Dithejane is also in the mix alongside teammate Kulumani Ndamane, who missed the last camp due to not having a passport.

Notably, Broos had made sure to add some experience to the team. Nkosinathi Sibisi, Evidence Makgopa and Siyabonga Ngezana are some of the more experienced players called up to balance the squad.
True to his word, Broos did not call up a single player from Mamelodi Sundowns - a considerate gesture as the Brazilians gear up for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
