This after former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Keagan Dolly joined the team from France.

Even the FC Twente midfielder, Kamohelo Mokotjo, who became a Dutch citizen in December, has linked with the team in Durban.

The teams’ interim coach, Owen de Gama, says it’s never been in their plans to rebuild the national side after the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

“We are not here to rebuild a team,” said the man in charge.

“What we want to do is take the continuity from the Senegal game and spice it up with players that care very-very exciting”.

The Kaizer Chiefs defender, Lorena Gordinho, says for him it’s important to be in the side seeing that he wants to become a regular.

“It’s important for every South African player to be a part of the national team, everyone wants to play for their country.

“I think of myself it’s something that would be a good achievement for me to be regular in the squad, but nothing is certain so I have to work hard”.

Saturday afternoon’s international friendly between South African and Guinea-Bissau at the Moses Mabidha Stadium kicks off at 15:00.
