Chilli Boys to play Witbank
CHIPPA United will face National First Division side Witbank Spurs from Mpumalanga, while Kaizer Chiefs travel to NFD side Stellenbosch FC in the Last 32 of the Nedbank Cup, after the draw was made last night.
Orlando Pirates are away at Bisho-based EC Bees and Mamelodi Sundowns will host Limpopo minnows Mariveni United.
Defending champions SuperSport United have a difficult start to the defence of their title when they travel to ambitious NFD side Royal Eagles.
Chiefs have yet to win a trophy under coach Steve Komphela and head to the Cape winelands for the start of their Nedbank Cup campaign this year.
It will be an exercise in damage limitation and from a Sundowns point of view, a chance for coach Pitso Mosimane to give some of his top stars a rest in what is a congested fixture programme.
EC Bees’ Bhisho home does not have adequate facilities to host Premier Soccer League match, so their game will likely be moved to East London or Port Elizabeth.
Pirates will not want to take them lightly, having been beaten 4-1 by third-tier Maluti FET College in 2013.
Polokwane City will host Gauteng ABC Motsepe League side African All Stars for the second year running, having beaten them 2-0 last year, while Telkom Knockout winners Cape Town City travel to third-tier Acornbush FC from Kabokweni near Nelspruit.
Another David vs Goliath clash sees 2015 finalists Ajax Cape Town travel to the KwaZulu-Natal coast to meet KwaDukuza United.
The Last 32 matches will be played in the week of March 8-14, with the exact dates, venues and kickoff times to be announced by the PSL in due course.
