Ghana-South Africa: Mashaba Plots 'Coup De Ghana' As He Makes Four Changes

Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba has made four changes to his starting line-up that will lock horns with the Black Stars of Ghana in their last Group C match of the AFCON 2015 at the Stade de Mongomo, Equatorial Guinea on Tuesday.

If South Africa is to make a qualification birth, then they have to win at all cost at the expense of the four time winners and hope Algeria beat Senegal in the other match of the Group.

In the post, Mashaba has a slot in Brilliant Khuzwayo for Jackson Mabokgwane who kept the post in their match against the Teranga Lions.

It must be noted here that this is the third goalkeeper change by Shake Mashaba in one tournament. In defence, central defender Rivaldo Coetzee returns to the starting line-up after missing the last game due to injury and he's going to replace the experience Thulani Hlatshwayo who picked a knock in their first match.

Offensive midfielder Mandla Masango has taken the place of Oupa Manyisa in midfield where he will combine with the captain, Dean Furman, Andile Jali and Tulsa Phala.

Upfront, Bongani Ndulula who provided the necessary ammunition for Tokelo Rantie during the qualifications has taken his place from Sibusiso Vilakazi.
