If history has any kind of leverage for Bafana Bafana in their crucial Africa Cup of Nations clash against Namibia, then they've got that in abundance in past meetings against their neighbours.
The Brave Warriors, ranked 115th in the world, have already helped themselves to a big slice at Afcon, pulling off a stunning victory against one of the tournament favourites, Tunisia (ranked 28th), courtesy of a late Deon Hotto goal.
In the other Group E match, Hugo Broos and his South African team (64th) suffered defeat against a formidable-looking Mali (51st), greatly reducing their likelihood of advancing beyond the group stage.
