Substitute Ryan Ogam struck a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to rescue a point for Kenya while captain Michael Olunga etched his name into Kenyan football folklore by netting his 35th international goal to tie the late William Ouma as the nation's joint all-time leading scorer.
Bafana took an early lead in the ninth minute courtesy of an Amos Wanjala own goal to Harambee Stars on the back foot. However, Kenya absorbed the pressure and drew level on the stroke of half-time when Olunga calmly converted from the penalty spot.
The goal saw the skipper officially match a record set by the legendary Ouma in the 1970s, moving him one goal clear of former international Dennis Oliech (34).
The hosts regained control in the second half with Relebohile Mofokeng restoring Bafana Bafana's advantage in the 77th minute.
