Now, following tonight's draw in Cairo, Bafana have found out that they will face Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Ghana in Group G of Africa's second round of World Cup qualifiers, with the four teams battling it out for top spot in the group and a place in the final round for a place in the showpiece event in two years' time.

Only five of the 40 teams left in the qualifiers will be on the plane to Qatar in 2022, and it will be no easy feat for Ntseki and his side amid trips to Eastern, Southern and Western Africa as they seek to secure first place in the group, with their first game taking place in October.
