Chiefs will be looking to redeem themselves after losing their last three league matches in the previous season and finished in fifth place on the log.
The Glamour Boys restructured their technical team, as Ntseki was handed the head coaching role while Arthur Zwane got back to his previous position of assistant coach.
Chiefs have made seven new signings, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, Edson Castillo, Ranga Chivaviro, Given Msimango, Mduduzi Mdantsane, Tebogo Potsane and Pule Mmodi.
Chippa, meanwhile, survived relegation by goal difference last season, as they finished 14th on the table with Siyabulela Gwambi as caretaker coach and made coaching changes in the off-season as they brought back Morgan Mammila as head coach, who will be assisted by Gwambi.
The Chilli Boys have made a number of big signings, including Goodman Mosele (loan), Craig Martin from Orlando Pirates, Luvuyo Memela and Augustine Mulenga.
