Coach Kalisto Pasuwa wants his Malawi team to face South Africa without fear at Bingu Stadium on Saturday. The Flames come into this African Nations Championship match after beating Comoros 4-0 overall last round. Players must keep their focus sharp throughout the entire game against their skilled opponents. Mistakes could cost them their first-ever CHAN qualification chance. Fans will serve as the extra player for the home team.

Pasuwa believes past losses came from showing rivals too much respect. His team must play their natural football style when facing the technically skilled South African squad. The visitors left some top local talents at home due to club duties, which might help Malawi. Both teams will field domestic league players only, as CHAN rules require. The Flames carry good momentum with league games just starting recently.

Captain Maxwell Paipi reports that all 18 squad members remain healthy for selection. Malawi has won two of its last three games against South Africa despite a lopsided overall record. The team feels ready to make history with a victory. Paipi asks supporters to fill the stadium. Their loud cheers could push the team toward the finals
