Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has included Themba Zwane in his preliminary squad for their double-header friendly matches against Panama later this month.

Zwane missed the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) games in Morocco while recovering from injury, but has recently been featuring for Mamelodi Sundowns.
