Striker Dipsy Selolwane will lead Botswana’s attack when they face South Africa in Saturday’s Cosafa Castle Cup semifinal at Atteridgeville.
The Jomo Cosmos striker is joined in the 18-man squad by Mogogi Gabonamong of Santos and midfielder Michael Mogaladi from recently relegated Maritzburg United.
Selowane, Gabonamong and goalkeeper Modiri Marumo have all played for Botswana in three past appearances against South Africa in the Cosafa Castle Cup.
Selolwane scored when Bafana Bafana won 2-1 in Gaborone eight years ago. The last two matches between the two countries ended in goalless draws. Botswana eliminated South Africa in last year’s competition on post-match penalties.
