The Soweto derby between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are set to headline the Nedbank Cup semi-final fixtures following the conclusion of the draw which took place at Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday.

The first semi-final will see Stellenbosch FC take on Sekhukhune United, while the headline fixture will see Amakhosi go up against arch-rivals Pirates.

Stellenbosch made their way to this stage of the competition after they defeated Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 after a brace by Iqraam Rayners cancelled out Lee Langeveldt’s own goal at Athlone Stadium, while Sekhukhune reached this stage of the competition after edging out Chippa United 2-1 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium through goals from Elias Mokwana and Chibuike Ohizu.

The Buccaneers progressed to this stage of the tournament after they clinched a hard-fought 5-4 victory in a penalty shootout against Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit Dondol Stars after the game remained 1-1 after extra time at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Meanwhile, Chiefs advanced to the last four of the tournament following their 2-1 victory over Royal AM when an own goal from Thabo Matlaba and a late penalty by Yusuf Maart cancelled out Lesego Manganyi’s opening goal at the Chatsworth Stadium.

“We have witnessed another thrilling Nedbank Cup quarter-finals, and we look forward to an entertaining weekend of the semi-final fixtures on 6 and 7 May,” Tobie Badenhorst, Head of Sponsorship at Nedbank said.

“We’re nearing the business end of the 16th edition of the Nedbank Cup, and we’re excited to have launched our new campaign with some of SA’s biggest football stars. The campaign is built on the sentiment that the small, everyday choices can have the biggest impact on our lives.”
