There will be another Soweto derby this weekend when Kaizer Chiefs host Orlando Pirates in the Telkom Knockout semifinals at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, a fixture that was sold out within two hours of tickets going on sale.

Pirates have not added to their trophy cabinet since winning the 2014 Nedbank Cup, despite reaching four knockout finals since and finishing runners-up in the league.
