Mzansi's football fraternity will turn their attention to cup football this weekend as the MTN8 takes centre stage.
Pitso Mosimane's Mamelodi Sundowns have been eliminated from the CAF Champions League and they will be adamant to bounce back with a win. They are, however, trailing 1-0 on aggregate following the first leg, and Cape Town City have proven that they can compete with the giants of South African football. Who are your favourites to reach the final?
Kaizer Chiefs go into their 2nd leg semi-final with a slight advantage as their two away goals could come into play. The first leg ended in a 2-2 draw and while Chiefs will be seen as the favourites, SuperSport United have enjoyed cup success in recent years. Who are you backing to win this tie?
Golden Arrows defender, Limbikani Mzava, predicts his outcome. Do you agree with him?

Useful facts: Masandawana need a clinical 2-0 victory, at the very least, over the Citizens if they have ambitions of progressing to the final of the MTN8. The Brazilians suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg away from home last weekend and will hope to make full use of home ground advantage in the second leg tie at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, Benni McCarthy's charges will be looking to build on the previous performance in the competition, with hopes to make it to their second successive final.
Limbikani Mzava: Sundowns

Useful facts: Amakhosi managed to score two away goals in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-final encounter when they visited Matsatsantsa a Pitori last Sunday where they played to a thrill-a-minute 2-2 stalemate. The Glamour Boys will hope to put on a better defensive display if they are to contain a free-scoring SuperSport outfit. Meanwhile, the defending champions will be out to continue with their impressive form, with the Tshwane side having avoided defeat in their last four games.
