After several years without silverware, Kaizer Chiefs will hope to finally end the trophy drought, but first, they need to fend off Chippa United in a Nedbank Cup semi-final – a traditionally tricky opponent.
With Chiefs out of the PSL title race, the Cup remains their season’s defining factor and only a win will determine their season as being a success.
Nonetheless, it is fitting that Chiefs are the tournament’s record winners with 13 titles to their name, and without any of South African football’s bigger clubs to worry about, the stars may be aligning for Ernst Middendorp’s men.
