Bafana Bafana have been left without an opponent just days before their scheduled friendly.
The national team tweeted that the game with Madagascar has been called off as they decided to withdraw from the tie.
This comes days after Zambia decided they weren't going to play their friendly in light of the recent xenophobic attacks in the country.
