Johannesburg - Bafana Bafana have dropped 10 places to 69th in the latest Fifa world rankings released on Thursday.
The Shakes Mashaba-led side have also plummeted to 18th in the Caf rankings.
Bafana failed to win a match as hosts in the recent Cosafa Cup, as their steady decline continued.
The rankings came out as Bafana prepare to take on Gambia next Saturday in their African Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying match at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
Three days later, Bafana move to Cape Town as they host Angola in an international friendly.
The national team will then have a break of three months before playing their next match against Mauritania away in another Afcon qualifier.
