Mwanja has also revealed the matchday squad to face South Africa on Wednesday.
Otuoma believes that South Africa will be a different test to Kenya altogether, but one that they are prepared to face
“We’ve met South Africa before. We played them both in 2019 and 2021. We know that the game will be very physical and we will be ready and we are very very much prepared for the task at hand,” Otuoma said.
Head coach Dennis Mwanja’s charges will not have forgotten the South Africans too quickly having lost heavily to them the last time the two sides clashed in August 2021.
