South Africa won the original match 2-1 last November but a FIFA investigation, in response to betting patterns led to Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey being found guilty of match manipulation.

It is the first World Cup qualifier in any continent to be replayed after a referee fixed the outcome.

Lamptey awarded South Africa a first-half penalty for a non-existent handball, which they converted.

Later in the half, he instructed the Senegalese to retreat for a free-kick when South Africa took it and scored almost immediately.

Lamptey, who works as an air traffic controller, has now turned to the Swiss civil courts in the hope of having the ban lifted.

Burkina Faso and Cape Verde lead Group D with six points from four matches, while Senegal have five and South Africa one from three matches.

Only group winners in Africa qualify for the World Cup finals in Russia.

This Saturday (October 7), South Africa  are due to host Burkina Faso at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg  and Cape Verde have home advantage against Senegal.

The South African Football Association (SAFA) previously stated they would not appeal the FIFA decision, though that could change if the Lamptey appeal was successful.

"Following additional information SAFA received from world governing body FIFA, the Association resolved on moral and ethical grounds that we cannot be beneficiaries of corrupt activities," they stated last month.

"We have however, noted that the official at the centre of all this controversy has appealed his case to the courts of law and if the courts overturn the decision, everything becomes null and void and SAFA will reserve its right to challenge the decision of FIFA to replay the match.

"SAFA's zero tolerance on corrupt activities within football are well documented and it is in this light that we decided to comply with the FIFA directive."
