Kickoff is at 16h30 South African time (15h30 local time in Benguela).
Mabokgwane takes over the No 1 jersey and captain’s armband from the injured Itumeleng Khune who was withdrawn from the squad.
The goal minder will have a strong rearguard of Anele Ngcongca, Thabo Matlaba, Rivaldo Coetzee and Erick Mathoho.
The midfield has a familiar look about it with Mandla Masango, Thulani Serero, Andile Jali and Bongani Zungu being prefered, while Thamsanqa Gabuza and Tokelo Rantie will be expected to deliver the goals.
Both Mathoho and Serero have shaken off injuries after sufffering from minor knocks and missing training on Wednesday.
“This is the big one, it’s the World Cup qualifiers and we are all aware that if you don’t make it you will have to wait another four years or so. It’s going to be a high tempo game, a difficult one for both teams. We wont sit back and hope for miracles, we will attack to try and get goals,” said Bafana Bafana head coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba.
