Kaizer Chiefs Development defender Thabang Lebese has been called-up to the South African Under-17 National Team.

Goalkeeper Sizwe Skei and midfielder Wiseman Meyiwa are retained in the squad.

The Under-17s will face Mali in a friendly at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday (kick-off at 12:30). The match is a curtain raiser to the friendly between Bafana and the Super Eagles.

Amajimbos recently rewrote history when they qualified for this year's Fifa U-17 World Cup in Chile.

Lebese's call-up follows those of Itumeleng Khune, Brilliant Khuzwayo, Erick Mathoho and Mandla Masango with Bafana Bafana.

South Africa beat Swaziland 3-1 on Wednesday and they will face the Super Eagles on Sunday at 15:30.

Amakhosi youngsters Lorenzo Gordinho, Zitha Macheke, Simphiwe Mtsweni and Chris Matombo were recently called-up to do duty for the U23 National Team. Amajita first beat Palestine 2-1 in a friendly.

Accordingly, the Under-23s lost 2-0 on the road to Sudan in the first leg of the 2015 All Africa Games qualifier played last Sunday.
