Pitso Mosimane begins his second stint as Bafana Bafana head coach with a home Africa Cup of Nations Group D qualifier against Guinea on Saturday at Orlando Amstel Arena.
Mosimane's re-appointment as South Africa boss was announced on September 1. He had previously been in charge from 2010-2012, and is now back to succeed Hugo Broos following Bafana's round of 32 exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
That was the first time South Africa made the knockout rounds of a FIFA World Cup tournament, but they still have not won the Africa Cup of Nations since 1996 despite a third-place finish at the 2023 tournament -- held belatedly in 2024 in Ivory Coast.
Bafana were below par at AFCON 2025, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 in Morocco. Mosimane has been tasked with taking them back to the top of Africa -- repeating his continental club triumphs at CAF Champions League level with Mamelodi Sundowns (once) and Al Ahly (twice).
Follow the live action below as Mosimane's charges take on Guinea in a qualifier for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Given that Kenya are in this qualifying group, South Africa need to top the group to be guaranteed a spot in the tournament.
