10 April 1999
Following a win over Botswana national team in a Cosafa Castle Cup earlier, Bafana Bafana coach Trott Moloto made surprising changes to his team for the African Nations Cup qualifier game against Gabon at the Odi stadium. Most of the foreign-based players who were missing in the match against Botswana were recalled. Despite the strong team selected by Moloto South Africa loses 1-0 to Gabon.
