FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Central African Republic - South Africa South Africa will look to extend their unbeaten run when they meet Central African Republic on Saturday.
Gordon Igesund's men have avoided defeat over 90 minutes in their last seven outings, though they exited the Africa Cup of Nations at the hands of Mali on penalties during that time.
Despite that good run, the 2010 World Cup hosts have not had things all their own way as they bid to qualify for the 2014 tournament via CAF qualification round two Group A.
They currently sit in second place, two points adrift of leaders Ethopia, having won one game and drawn the other two.

"I am a coach who looks for a meritocracy," he told Spanish television station Punto Pelota.
