The Premier Soccer League has announced the fixtures for the upcoming first round of the MTN8 on Monday afternoon.
The league confirmed the fixtures ahead of the 17 October start date.
There will be two games on Saturday, 17 October with defending champions SuperSport United, who finished fifth last season, kicking off against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila after the side from Limpopo acquired the top-flight status of the now-defunct Bidvest Wits, who finished last season in fourth place.
In the other game of the day, Joseph Zinnbauer’s Orlando Pirates will take on Cape Town City. Pirates finished last season in third after a revival under their German coach, while the Citizens ended with a bang by eventually finishing sixth after also starting the campaign poorly.
