Mamelodi Sundowns will play SuperSport United in a two-legged Tshwane derby semi-final after the draw was concluded on Sunday.
There were a couple of shocks in the quarter-finals when first Polokwane City sent defending champions Cape Town City packing with a 2-0 win at Newlands, before the biggest shock of the round as Highlands Park scored a later winner to beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 at the Orlando Stadium.
