New Bafana Bafana coach Shakes Mashaba will make his first squad announcement on Friday for the 2015 Africa Cup on Nations qualifiers to take on Sudan and Nigeria next month.

“Ephraim Shakes Mashaba will announce his first squad since taking over the reigns of the senior men’s national team on Friday 22, August 2014.,” Safa communications boss Dominic Chimhavi told Times LIVE today.

With the announcement, South Africans will get a first glance of Mashaba’s conclusions about the state of the crop of players at his disposal.

Mashaba’s charges take on Sudan on Friday, September 5 in Khartoum in his first match as Bafana boss. Five days later, Bafana Bafana hosts African champions Nigeria in Cape Town as the road to qualify for the 2015 showpiece in Morocco begins with taxing back-to-back fixtures.

Safa has organised a chartered flight to Sudan and Bafana will depart Johannesburg on September 3, before returning to lock horns with the Super Eagles in the Mother City.
