As Bafana Bafana prepares for their first Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) match against Angola in the Marrakesh Stadium in Morocco, captain Ronwen Williams says he believes the team will give a good account of themselves at the tournament.

He has appealed to the football gods to bless Bafana Bafana with a second Afcon title.

The last time the South Africans won the title was in 1996.

Last year, they won the bronze medal, and they are aiming to build on that performance.

The match starts Monday at 19h00.

Are Bafana Bafana the favourites for this AFCON title? Skipper Ronwen Williams responds during the pre-match press conference.
