Bafana Bafana are set to play two international friendlies against Ghana and Angola ahead of their participation in the African Cup of Nations later this month.
The South African national team jetted off to Dubai on Monday, where they will play Ghana in their first friendly on 15 June before leaving Dubai for Egypt the following Monday, 17 June.

The match between Bafana and Angola was confirmed this past weekend by both nation’s FAs and will be played at a venue between Suez and Cairo where Angola and South Africa are due to be based respectively.
Both Angola and South Africa agreed that the match will be more of a practice game, as the two teams want to give almost all of their players a run during the game.
After their opening encounter against Ivory Coast, Bafana will square off against neighbours Namibia on 28 June before taking on Morocco in their final group stage game on 1 July.
