Senior men’s national team coach Ephraim ‘Shakes’ Mashaba has fired an early warning to the Pharaohs of Egypt ahead of the two teams meeting on 6 September 2016 at Orlando Stadium in the Nelson Mandela Challenge.

Bafana Bafana beat Senegal 1-0 last year to win the 2015 Edition of the annual NMC and Mashaba vowed his side will reclaim the title once again.

“This is not a threat. This is one trophy we need to win annually and will strive to retain it again this year,” said Mashaba at a press conference to announce Egypt as this year’s opponents.

The Bafana Bafana v Egypt match kicks off at 19h00 and tickets are being sold for R80.00 all round at all outlets of Computicket, Shoprite and Shoprite Checkers stores countrywide.
