This is the only change made by coach Owen da Gama to the team that defeated Tunisia 1-0 in the previous match of the competition.
Norodien takes the place of Siphelele Ntshangase who starts from the bench.
South Africa takes on Algeria in the semi-final this evening at Stade Leopold Senghor in Dakar, Senegal.
Kickoff is at 20h30 South African time (18h30 local time).
Jody February is in goals and will have regulars Tebogo Moerane, Abbubaker Mobara, Rivaldo Coetzee and Kwanda Mngonyama in front of him in defence.
Norodien joins the midfield that already has Keagan Dolly, Deolin Mekoa, Phumlani Ntshangase and Menzi Masuku, while Gift Motupa has been declared fit to lead the attack.
Motupa sustained an ankle injury in the clash against Tunisia but has recovered to take his place in the starting line-up.
Dolly will again captain the side.
According to the competition rules, if there is no winner after regulation time, extra time will be played, and if there is no change after the allocated 30 minutes of extra time, then a penalty shootout will ensue to determine the winner of the match.
