Former Bafana Bafana captain Lucas Radebe is confident that Bafana Bafana will beat Nigeria on Wednesday and advance to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final.
Bafana advanced to the semi-final of the AFCON after beating Cape Verde by 2-1 during the penalty shoot-out on Saturday night. South Africa's captain Ronwen Williams saved four penalties against the Blue Sharks, to send the country to the semi-finals of the tournament since 2000.

'Rhoo' believes that Bafana Bafana has a score to settle against the Nigerians in Ivory Coast on Wednesday.
"Look with the performance the boys displayed in the last few games, I am confident that we will go through. We have players that can handle that kind of pressure," Radebe tells KickOff.
"I think the boys will settle the score that has been outstanding for a very long time. We don't have any other time to prove it now. I think the boys will do the job and qualify for the finals of the Afcon tournament," he added.
Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos received a lot of criticism after Bafana Bafana lost their first AFCON match against Mali but managed to help the team bounce back.
"I said this even before that Hugo Broos is a good coach for Bafana the way was talking. He talks sense, just that we like to sugarcoat things and want to hear the good things. We like criticising. Look the team is now stable, confident, and consistent and that's the important thing, that's why we are where we are now. So Hugo is on the right track," added Radebe.
