Mamelodi Sundowns and Zimbabwe captain Esrom Nyandoro has promised Bafana Bafana a much tougher game than the one they experienced at the weekend.

The South Africans beat Swaziland 6-2 in a practice match on Saturday, but Nyandoro says Carlos Alberto Parreira and his team should not expect such an easy ride when they face Zimbabwe at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Wednesday.

“What I know is that Bafana Bafana are a good side and they are playing very well, and that Zimbabwe is in a rebuilding process with many young but talented locally-based players and then those who are playing here in South Africa,” he said, according to Kickoff.com.

“They will go all out to give South Africa a good tough game – it will be tougher than the Swaziland one.”

Nyandoro added that they want to give Bafana a good game to help Parreira in his preparations for the World Cup in June.

“We need to help them prepare and that is why we will be taking this game very seriously. They should know that it will be a really tough one for both sides because national pride is at stake here.”
