Bafana Bafana boss Mofeli Ntseki is happy to continue with his Nelson Mandela Challenge winners for their Afcon qualifier double-header next month.
The only player not recalled to the 25-man squad to face Ghana and Sudan is injured winger Keagan Dolly, who is replaced by SuperSport United wide man Aubrey Modiba.
South Africa take on the Black Stars in Accra on Thursday November 14, before returning home to host Sudan three days later.
Bafana beat Mali 2-1 thanks to a Dean Furman penalty and a Themba Zwane goal in the first half.
That victory was achieved without star man Percy Tau and striker Lebo Mothiba, who were ruled out on the morning of the clash.

And coach Ntseki says: “If it is not broken, why fix it.
“We have decided to keep the bulk of the team because they already understand what we want to do, and you will recall this will be my third camp with them - even though we did not play a match in the first one.
“It was important to keep that consistency as we also don’t have too much to work on things seeing that we are playing two match in a space of three days, which also involves significant travelling.”

The coach says his team has to start with a bang.
He adds: “These are very crucial matches in that they could determine our destiny in the competition.
“We have to start on a good footing and avoid playing catch-up as it puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on everyone - the coaching staff, players and the even the fans.”
