The Siya crew can confirm that Orlando Pirates are still to decide on whether assistant coach Rhulani Mokwena can join Stuart Baxter and Bafana Bafana for the friendly tournament in Zambia.
Following the Bafana squad announcement, Baxter announced that he was roping the Bucs assistant coach to the national team setup in an attempt to 'empower' young coaches in the countries.
According to Siya sources close to the Buccaneers, the management still needs to decide on whether Mokwena can link up with the national squad for their camp.

"Orlando Pirates are yet to make the official announcement regarding whether coach Rhulani can, in fact, join Baxter and the squad on their trip to Zambia," said the source.
The crew also understand that Pirates will formally make a decision on the matter today.
Rhulani who previously worked as a development coach at Mamelodi Sundowns where he was eventually promoted to assistant coach under Pitso Mosimane has done well since joining Pirates last year in August.
Under Milutin Sredojevic, Mokwena has helped guide the Soweto giants to the second spot on the PSL log behind Sundowns.
Should Mokwena join the Bafana squad, he will be one of only three members of the Bucs squad which includes Innocent Maela and Thembinkosi Lorch.
