A Mozambique international has shared his thoughts ahead of their upcoming clash with Bafana Bafana, revealing that he is familiar with many of the South African national team players.
Kaizer Chiefs defender Edmilson Dove could leave the club at the end of this month when his contract expires.
Until then, the 30-year-old remains focused on international duty, with Mozambique set to face South Africa in a friendly match on Tuesday, 10 June.

Mozambique began their preparations this week, and Dove emphasised that the team is taking the fixture very seriously.
He also noted that he knows many of his South African opponents well, having spent at least seven years playing in the Premier Soccer League.
"We are here to represent the national team. Every game is important. We will try to find out where we are after a long break," said Dove on the official website of the Mozambican Football Federation.
"We are happy, focused and I believe that we will be ready in technical and tactical terms by the day of the game. I am motivated, as I have been in each call-up. I am pleased to be here and represent the country.
"I have many teammates in the South African national team and it will be a different game. I hope that Mozambique comes out victorious."
The match is scheduled to take place at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
