    Bafana Bafana secured an impressive 3-1 win over Egypt in the 2024 African Nations Championships qualifier on Sunday night.

    Therefore, South Africa progressed to the next round of the qualifiers after winning the tie 4-2 on aggregate.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    In the second round, Bafana will face their Southern African rivals, Malawi, to determine who qualifies for the Chan finals to be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in August.

    Ntseki will be hoping to retain the services of his inspirational captain Maema, who has fallen out of favour at Mamelodi Sundowns, ahead of the two matches against the Flames.

    Former Chippa United and Bloemfonteinc Celtic star Luthuli, who recently underwent unsuccessful trials at Orlando Pirates, will be determined to use the Chan qualifiers to catch the eye of both local and international scouts.

    Bafana players will return to their respective clubs as the two matches against Malawi will be played in May.

    South Africa are hoping to compete in the Chan finals for the third time, having participated in the 2011 edition and 2014 showpiece as the hosts.
