Bafana Bafana face two of the deadliest strikers in Africa when they take on Tunisia in Tunis on Wednesday in their international friendly.
Ziad Jaziri and the Brazilian-born Francileudo do Santos will be re-united for the first time since March when they won the African Nations Cup for the first time, with the duo scoring six of Tunisia's 10 goals in the entire tournament.
Dos Santos has not featured in any of Tunisia's World Cup qualifiers in June due to marital problems.
The striker plays in the French Ligue 1 but his wife wanted to return to Brazil because she was homesick.
Tunisian authorities allegedly offered him about R3m to pledge his international allegiance to the north African country just before the Nations Cup finals, and he had since scored five goals in nine appearances.
Meanwhile, Jaziri plys his trade in for Gaziantepspor Turkey and was hoping to team up with Dos Santos at Sochaux, but the deal fell through.
Jaziri also scored against Bafana Bafana the last time the two countries met last November.
