Amakhosi aim to end trophy drought with the Nedbank Cup


By Neo Poho

Kaizer Chiefs defender Thatayaone Ditlhokwe is confident Amakhosi will finally end their trophy drought by winning the Nedbank Cup as the tournament heads into its 17th year of existence.

This follows Chiefs' Nedbank last 32 draw where they will meet with lower division side, Milford FC.

"Although we don't know the team that we have been drawn against that much, we will have to do our homework on them and still focus on ourselves.

I also believe we need to work in order to advance to the next round of the competition and ultimately winning the cup because that is the only objective that we have at the moment - to win the Nedbank Cup and bring some silverware to Naturena," Ditlhokwe said.

Meanwhile, defending champions Orlando Pirates will begin their title defence against a team that is yet to be confirmed from the Safa ranks in Mpumalanga.

The Sea Robbers, who have already won the MTN8 this season, didn’t get a home draw and that means they will travel to Mpumalanga.

Pretoria giants Mamelodi Sundowns will have a short trip to Johannesburg to face NB La Masia from the Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC).

The last 32 draw also produced a few clashes between the top-tier sides with SuperSport United being pitted against Cape Town City.

Golden Arrows will welcome Carling Knockout Cup runners-up TS Galaxy while AmaZulu FC will battle for a place in the last 16 against Royal AM in the KZN derby.

DStv Premiership side Richards Bay FC will host fellow top-tier club Polokwane City too.

The dates and venues for the last 32 matches will be confirmed by the PSL at a later stage.
