Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams is back innie mix with the national team, as they gear up for back-to-back African Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Congo next month.
Williams missed South Africa’s first two matches against Uganda and South Sudan respectively because of a shoulder injury.
In his absence, Bafana needed late strikes from super-sub Thalente Mbatha in both matches to earn a 2-2 with Uganda at home and then a 3-2 win over South Sudan away.
Fellow SA superstar Percy Tau also missed the first two matches, but was named in the 32-man preliminary squad for the October 11 home match and the return leg for days later.
