Chippa to play at home in Nedbank Cup Last 16 clash
Chippa United will have a home advantage after drawing National First Division side Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila in the Last 16 of the Nedbank Cup on Thursday.
The Chilli Boys knocked out league defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns on their way to book a place in last 16.
Kaizer Chiefs will face Western Cape ABC Motsepe League side The Magic, pitting them against their former full-back David Kannemeyer, who is now coach of the Cape Town side.
Chiefs squeezed past another third-tier club, Tornado FC, in the Last 32, needing extra-time before advancing 1-0.
But The Magic, who are co-owned by former Bafana Bafana striker George Dearnaley and have veteran midfielder Thando Mngomeni in their team, will relish the opportunity to cause a massive shock and send AmaKhosi tumbling from the competition.
The matches are scheduled for February 13-17. The exact dates and venues for the Last 16 matches will be announced by the PSL in due course.

Cape Umoya United vs Mbombela United; Jomo Cosmos vs TS Galaxy; Witbank Spurs vs Lamontville Golden Arrows; The Magic vs Kaizer Chiefs; Cape Town City vs Highlands Park; Bloemfontein Celtic vs Richards Bay; Black Leopards vs BidVest Wits; Chippa United vs Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila..
