Bafana will play Ghana in Accra on Thursday, November 14, before taking on Sudan at Orlando Stadium on Sunday, November 17.
Ntseki cited the lack of preparation time as one of the reasons he mainly stuck with the same side that beat Mali 2-1 in the Nelson Mandela Challenge earlier this month.
Sifiso Hlanti and Thamsanqa Mkhize do return to the squad after injury, while Keagan Dolly misses out after he got injured in the last Bafana camp. SuperSport United’s Aubrey Modiba replaces Dolly on the squad.
Bafana are expected to leave for Ghana on November 10.
Tickets for the Sudan game are already on sale at R40 all around.
