Read: Bafana Defender - It's Up To Us Now FIFA decided that Bafana's 2-1 victory over Senegal last year in November should be declared null and void after they banned referee Joseph Lamptey for life, finding him guilty of 'match manipulation'. At the time of the decision there was no date set for the encounter, however SAFA released a calendar for the year this week where they stated that the game will be played on November 10, at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. The second game, in Senegal, is set for Dakar's Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor four days later on November 14.
