South African Premier News
The start of the new PSL season saw major movement in an already busy South African Premiership transfer window, with Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch among the key kingmakers.
After the start to their season was delayed by a week following the death of Jayden Adams, Mamelodi Sundowns are finally returning to action on Saturday against Polokwane City in the MTN8 quarter-finals.
The MTN8 will kick off with defending champions Orlando Pirates in action against Durban City on Saturday, before African champions Mamelodi Sundowns play Polokwane City.
After years of monopoly and then duopoly in the South African Premiership, the days of three-horse races between the traditional 'Big Three' may finally be about to return.
Kaizer Chiefs will play their first South African Premiership match under new head coach Fernando da Cruz on Saturday, as they visit Kruger United at Mbombela Stadium.
