Seeing clearly now. Dikwena coach Cavin Johnson has brought stability to team and this season expectations are high.

Originally, the tourney had four teams competing- one from Botswana, Mpumalanga, FS and NW but due to changes in the format as a result of teams being bought and relocations, this time it will only be contested by the said clubs.

Bucs, who were beaten by rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the Black Label Cup weeks ago, will try and redeem themselves, particularly with new coach Muhsin Ertugral ringing-in some changes in the set up.

Known for no-nonsense approach Muhsin has signed few players, who could –depending on his formation- stabilize the team’s performance in the league.

On the other side, Dikwena’s record in the elite league has been great and they will want to improve on that. Despite off  loading some of their top but troublesome players’ coach Cavin Johnson has made good signings and they will be paraded on the day against Bucs.

As part of celebrating Women’s Month, all women are entitled free entrance at the stadium.

This was confirmed by the Premier of the province Supra Mahumapelo.

Preceding the match, some youth development action will be on display Bojanala Women vs Ngaka Modiri Molema Women
(U19 Girls) and U15 boys teams, Dr Kenneth Kaunda vs Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati.

2000 fans will get free beanies and pop-corns and 999 artists will provide entertainment.

Tickets available through Computicket & Shoprite Checkers at R40 for adults and R10 for children under 12 years.

It kicks off from 3pm.

Meanwhile, as part of CSI the Provincial Department of Education as well as the two participating clubs with will be hosting a development clinic for 200 kids the day before the match.

Former Chiefs defender Fabian McCarthy and former Cosmos, Bari (Italy)

& Bafana striker Phil Masinga will conduct the clinics.
