Speaking to the South African Football Association's website, Hlatshwayo opened up about the atmosphere in the camp ahead of Sunday.
"We are fully aware of what this match means to the players, the entire travelling delegation, the Association, the fans and the whole country, and we believe we have what it takes to ensure that we get the needed result, however, we urge all South Africans to rally behind the team this weekend for this all-important game," he said.
"We all know that Bafana Bafana is a team that can unite the nation and bring some positivity around the country – and that is why we need positive energies back home for us to do well against Libya.
"Everyone is highly motivated in the camp and we know that we have a good chance of winning this encounter. We have conceded only one goal in five matches and haven't lost a game in the qualifiers – which is an indication that we are doing something right, we just need to finish off what we started," he added.
