Orit gave Uganda Cranes the lead with a diving header off a telling cross from the right by team captain Emmanuel Arnold Okwi in the 18th minute.
Hlongwane found the equalizer for Bafana Bafana, a few minutes into the second half.
Makgopa then gave the hosts the lead and moments later doubled the advantage to build a two goal lead.
Lumala reduced the deficit to make it 3-2 for the visitors and grant the closing minutes of the game a tense ending.
