The Kaizer Chiefs frontman took a knock to his leg late on in the 2-0 victory over Angola which took the host nation top of the group with just one round of matches remaining ahead of the quarter-finals.
And while the forward will miss out against the Lions of the Atlas, he is confident the side can book their place in the first knock-out round, where he then should be fit for a return to action.
"I got a cut from the Angolan goalkeeper on my leg. I have seven stitches and they say I will be healed between 7 to 10 days," Majoro told Football411.
"I am very disappointed to get an injury so late in the game, but I believe that I will still have another opportunity to play because everything is still in our power."
Majoro, who scored Bafana's second goal in there win over the Black Antelopes, says preparations for Sunday's game are well on track.
With Morocco needing victory to qualify, the former Amazulu striker believes they will employ a highly offensive game plan.
"Looking at the fact that Morocco needs a win to qualify I think they will come at us all guns blazing," Majoro said.
"They are a very strong side and we don't want to undermine them. We need to stick to our game plan and I believe that will work for us. "
"We have done well so far. We are on top of the log and I don't see us losing to Morocco," Majoro concluded.
