Johanensburg - Bafana Bafana continued their steady drop in the Fifa World rankings as they dropped one place to 73rd in the rankings released on Thursday.
South Africa are ranked 17th in Africa.
In September, Bafana lost an Afcon 2017 qualifier match against the much-lower ranked Mauritania 3-1. Mauritania rose 25 places to 89th in the rankings as result of their shock win.
Days later Bafana beat Senegal 1-0 in an international friendly.
