Moloisane made his senior international debut for Bafana Bafana against Mozambique during the 2024 COSAFA Cup and has won five caps to date, the most recent of which came in a 3-0 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying win over Lesotho in September.

The encounter against Chipolopolo will serve as an opportunity for the 26-year-old to play himself into South Africa coach Hugo Broos’ plans for the 2025 CAF Africa Cup of Nations, which gets underway on 21 December in Morocco.
