AmaTuks striker Lerato Shabangu, who has just returned from trials with Udinese in Italy, scored a hat-trick while Nhlanhla Shabalala and Mfundo Shumana scored a brace each while Cyril Zuma registered his name in the scorer's list with one goal.

The South Africans, who drew 1-1 with Maritius in their opening game in Germiston last week, opened the floodgates in the 13th minute through Shabalalala, who took advantage of a defensive error inside the Seychelles' penalty area.

AmaJita as the locals are affectionately known, increased their lead in the 34th minute via the golden boot of Shabangu whose long-range shot rattled the net.

Three minutes later, Shabangu was back in the spotlight confirming his brace - the third goal for the Steve Komphela-led charges.

Just before the interval, the visitors pulled one back through captain and striker Che Dorasamy from a free kick just outside vthe box.

AmaJita continued where they left off in the first half when they exerted pressure on their opponents in the second stanza. They were on the prowl and it came as little shock when Shabangu tapped home the fourth goal. He was fed by Kaizer Chiefs' midfielder Junior Khanye. This was Shabangu's third goal.

Dishing out dangerous tackles

At this stage the visitors were still in a state of shock. The hosts took full advantage of the situation and Shabalala scored his second goal -the fifth for South Africa.

Tempers flared and the visitors began dishing out dangerous tackles and their striker Jean Paul Aglae was sent for an early shower for a bad tackle on defender Calvin Sosibo in the 60th minute.

The locals used their numerical superiority well. They raided the Seychelles backyard and Zuma's long range shot beat goalkeeper Daniel Maillet hands down in the 70th minute.

Nine minutes later, Shumana beat two defenders before adding to the rout. As if the six goal margin was not enough to impress Komphela, Shumana hit the final nail in the coffin of Seychelles, scoring his second - the eighth goal - for South Africa.
