Bafana gearing up for Ghana

Bafana Bafana have already begun their preparations for Wednesday's international friendly against Ghana.

Joel Santana's charges recorded a 1-0 away victory over Equatorial Guinea on Saturday and were not afforded a break after their victory as they departed from Johannesburg to the Free State on Sunday evening.

The Brazilian mentor expects to have his first training session this afternoon as his side gears up to face a highly confident Black Stars camp in Bloemfontein.

The 2008 African Nations Cup hosts booked their place in the final round of World Cup qualifying courtesy of a 3-0 win against Lesotho in Sekondi on Saturday.

And while the encounter against South Africa may serve as nothing more than match practice, Milovan Rajevac will be eager to secure his second win as Ghana boss.

Santana, meanwhile, will name an unchanged line-up according to team manager Sipho Nkumane.

He told Kick Off: "There are no changes and we still have the same squad that played in Guinea for the game against Ghana on Wednesday."
