Bucs take to the field today to lay to rest debates that South African teams are reluctant to play against some of the best teams on the continent in spite of the world-class training facilities at their disposal.
Bucs will unveil some of their newcomers against the visitors at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth this afternoon.
The centre of attraction will be Benni McCarthy, who is expected to give Bucs' strike force more bite.
A team with Siyabonga Sangweni can boast of one of the best defences in the PSL.
The former Lamontville Golden Arrows man is also one of the key players for Bafana Bafana.
He is one of those few defenders who does not only prevent strikers from scoring, but he is also as good as any capable striker inside the box.
The home side have enough supply to conquer the continent as they did in 1995 when they won this tournament.
