The Springbok Women will have a new captain for the final two Tests in the WXV Global Series in the Republic.
Sizophila Solontsi will take over the captaincy duties against Ireland in Cape Town on 24 and 31 October after Babalwa Latsha was ruled out due to an ankle injury.
The experienced Solontsi co-captained the Bok Women with Unam Tose against Italy last month.

Their replacements will be confirmed on Monday.
