Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa made Gordon Igesund's Bafana Bafana squad to face Malawi.

Kermit Erasmus is not on the list, and neither are George Lebese and Ricardo Nunes.
Meyiwa's Pirates teammate Thabo Matlaba is also back in the team, after being left out for the Nelson Mandela Challenge against Zambia.
There is just one Mamelodi Sundowns representative, goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands, with Bafana veteran Teko Modise being dropped for this game.
Youngster Ayanda Patosi has been handed a first call-up, possibly inspired by his recent form for Lokeren – including this wonder-goal – while Lehlohonolo Majoro and Daine Klate are also back in the fold.
Thuso Phala has made the team again.
Igesund has also named 12 players that will join the squad for a "mini-camp" from December 27-30: Darren Keet, Mulomowandau Mathoho, Anele Ngcongca, Andile Jali, Teko Modise, Bongani Khumalo, Ricardo Nunes, Thulani Serero, Katelgo Mphela, Benni McCarthy, Kagisho Dikgacoi and Dean Furman.
Tickets for the match at Moses Mabhida Stadium on December 22 are on sale from today, for R100 and R50, from Computicket.
