Cape Town - Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter has named his starting XI for the worldwide friendly against Zambia at the Moruleng Stadium on Tuesday.
Lebogang Manyama nodded South Africa ahead on 23 minutes, Brian Mwila fired Zambia level after 72 minutes and Lubinda Mundia snatched the victor 11 minutes from time.
Bafana also fielded a second string team that was on the bench in their 2-0 AFCON qualifying away win over Nigeria on Saturday with the expectation of French-based striker Kermit Erasmus of Lens and midfielder Andile Jali from Belgian club KV Oostende.
Zambia pressured and equalized in the 72nd minute through Green Buffaloes striker Brian Mwila.
Seven minutes later, Lubinda Mundia scored what proved to be the winning goal to give Zambia a 2-1 win.
It was their first ever win against the Super Eagles in a competitive game.
Zambia suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat by Mozambique, who had not beaten "Chipolopolo" (Copper Bullets) in 18 other meetings spanning four decades.
