South Africa have delayed naming their squad for their final two games in African Nations Cup qualifying after captain Senzo Meyiwa was shot dead on Sunday.
Coach Ephraim Mashaba was due to announce the squad on Thursday.
Goalkeeper Meyiwa was killed in an apparent robbery at a house he was visiting. Police have launched a murder investigation.
A tearful Mashaba said at a news conference this week that Meyiwa would have been the first name on his list.
Meyiwa had not conceded a goal in qualifying and was a key reason why South Africa are unbeaten and top of a group containing African champion Nigeria. They need one more win to reach next year's African Cup finals.
South Africa plas Sudan on Nov. 15 and Nigeria four days later.
