Soccer Laduma's 'Team of the Week' is a feature in each and every Soccer Laduma edition, highlighting the top performers from the Premier Soccer League clubs.
Selections are based on the performances of players in the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup this past weekend.
Bidvest Wits secured their place in the last eight of the Nedbank Cup on Friday evening by walloping minnows Magesi FC 6-0.
