Stellenbosch FC spent an extra three nights in Gauteng following their 1-0 cup win over Orlando Pirates and are now targeting the scalp of defending DStv Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
Orlando Pirates progressed to the final of the MTN8 despite losing 1-0 to Stellenbosch on Sunday.
As Stellenbosch FC come to their first game without the services of their former influential midfielder Sibongiseni “OX” Mthethwa, Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro is adamant that his absence will have no bearing on their opponents.
Kaizer Chiefs forked out a fee in the region of R10 million to trigger Sibongiseni Mthethwa’s buy-out clause at Stellenbosch this week, SABC Sport understands.
Lungelo Nguse scored a brace to help Golden Arrows to a 2-1 victory that condemns Cape Town Spurs to a sixth consecutive defeat in the PSL this season.
Stellenbosch FC chief executive officer Rob Benadie has confirmed Kaizer Chiefs have tabled an offer for midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa with five days to go before the transfer window shuts.
