Venue: Free State Stadium

South Africa will be aiming to get their first win of the tournament after losing 1-0 to Mozambique in the opening game on Wednesday afternoon.
Vela Khumalo's charges find themselves at the bottom of Group A and know that another defeat will likely spell the end of their journey.
“Look, the preparations went well and we have a few changes, but at the same time we’re not saying this because we are under pressure," Khumalo said, as per SAFA.net.
"No, it is not because of that. It’s all about coach Hugo (Broos) seeing some of the players he wanted to see in this tournament for the Bafana Bafana main team."
“I think everything is going well so far, we just need to win the game tomorrow so that we are in a good space.
"If we can win that game (against Zimbabwe), we’ll be happy to go further and hope that our opponents are also losing games on the other side and then we can go to the semi-finals.
Here's how they line up:
South Africa: Mbanjwa, Msani, Okon, McCarthy, Moralo, Dlamini, Mgonyama, Nemtajela, Sebelebele, Mkhize. Radiopane
Subs: Mpoto, Johnson, Dithejane, Mfolozi, Duba, Ramabu, Letsoalo, Shabalala, Gcaba, Letlapa, Barns, Mcaba
