Itumeleng Khune, Thulani Serero, Ayanda Patori and Kamohelo Mokotjo were all included in the Bafana Bafana sqaud to face Swaziland and Nigeria when coach Shakes Mashaba announced the 30-man list on Tuesday.

Bafana Bafana will tackle Swaziland in Mbabane on March 25 before hosting the Super Eagles at Mbombela Stadium four days later.
