Tottenham boss Redknapp delighted with progress of South Africa tour

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has enjoyed their preseason tour of South Africa.

Spurs face Orlando Pirates tomorrow in the Vodacom Challenge final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.

They have taken on Kaizer Chiefs and the Pirates so far on their South African tour and Redknapp has been pleased with his side's efforts.

He said: "The preparations have been fantastic and we have had some tough games.

"I have been very impressed and the football here has been of the highest standard."

Redknapp has promised to play Bafana Bafana midfielder Steven Pienaar in the tournament finale after the former Everton star missed the previous two matches with a knee injury.

He said: "I'm happy Steven is training and aim to give him a start.

"I'm hoping that he will get at least 45 minutes of action.

"It's his home country and he has been looking forward to playing."
