'When one beneficiary meets another' - South Africa anticipates the Soweto Derby

Kaizer Chiefs take on Orlando Pirates in a Telkom Knockout Cup quarter-final at 15:00 on Saturday.

Last year Pirates knocked out Chiefs in the semi-final of the same competition, before Baroka FC lifted the trophy in the final.

Some fans are pointing out the Soweto Derby is even bigger for South Africa than the Rugby World Cup final between the Springboks and England at 11:00 on the same day.

Editors' Picks

Perhaps we shouldn't debate which game is bigger, because South African sports fans are looking forward to both games, getting behind the Springboks and one of Pirates or Chiefs.
