Given Khumalo's affiliation with AmaKhosi, it is unsurprising that he has selected five Kaizer Chiefs players for his squad: Bruce Bvuma, Aden McCarthy, Thabo Cele, Mduduzi Shabalala, and Wandile Duba.

After competing in the CAF Champions League final last Sunday, Mamelodi Sundowns players were not included in the Bafana Bafana COSAFA Cup squad, while the only Orlando Pirates player selected is Boitumelo Radiopane.

For Mozambique, coach Conde decided to exclude UD Songo winger Elias Pelembe from this year's tournament, with his most notable decision being the omission of defender Edmilson Dove, who plays for Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa.

The Mambas' manager's squad now consists mainly of domestic players, although he has called up the Portugal-based trio of Guebuza, Edson Mucuana, and Keyns Abdala.

South Africa possible starting lineup:

Bvuma; McCarthy, Mcaba, Mngonyama, Gcaba; Cele, Mkhize, Dithejane, Barns, Shabalala; Radiopane

Mozambique possible starting lineup:

Joao; Cuboco, Massuanganhe, Guebuza, Valter; Abdala, Francisco, Sumbane, Mucuana, Neves; Manhique
