A win for South Africa against the Indomitable Lions will also open up the group and create some excitement heading to the return legs. They left Johannesburg on Thursday bound for Limbe.

Bafana Bafana's mission heading to Cameroon is to cause an upset.

An upset would prevent the hosts from expanding their lead at the top of Group M in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nation qualifier.

Whether they like it or not, everyone in the Bafana Bafana setup is aware of the responsibility that lies ahead.

It’s a matter of team work. The contribution of experienced players such as Anele Ngcongca could be the catalyst to help the team.
His knowledge of certain individuals in the Cameroonian team is a commodity worthy of imparting to his teammates.

Bafana Bafana defender, Anele Ngcongca says: “I have worked with the coach before. I know what kind of coach he is; what he will bring to the team. I will try and help the guys and inform on what he will use…”

Nothing less than a win will help their cause of representation in Gabon in 2017 - they find themselves in a situation that could be fatal.

Cameroon's recent record at home has been good. And in the two games played so far, their campaign has been perfect.

However that no reason for Bafana Bafana to doubt themselves - if anything it should be motivating.

Bafana Bafana Coach, Shakes Mashaba says, "What we have adopted - let’s work on our strength points and make sure that when get there we try and put them under pressure. You need players with a big match temperament, players who will be able to exert themselves to the fullest.”

Encouraging is the satisfactory work the medical team has done on the players that had suffered knocks.

All players should be available for selection.
