Date: 04 June 2019
Venue: Princess Magogo Stadium
Bafana Bafana will be looking to salvage some pride when they take on Uganda in a COSAFA Cup Plate semi-final on Tuesday.. Read: Bafana Stumble At First Hurdle At COSAFA Cup The South Africans suffered defeat on penalties to Botswana after relinquishing a two-goal lead during regulation time in the quarter-finals on Sunday. Uganda also succumbed to the same fate as Bafana after losing to Lesotho via a penalty shoot-out on Saturday afternoon. South Africa are playing their under-23 team and are under the guidance of under-23 coach David Notoane, who will continue to rotate his squad and give as many members of the squad as much gametime as possible. Last year, Bafana won the Plate final with a 3-0 victory over Botswana and will be looking to repeat that success by overcoming their first hurdle in the form of Uganda.
