Diski Challenge fever hits KwaMhlanga

Solomon Mahlangu Stadium, in Kwamhlanga, would be a hive of activity this weekend as the DStv Diski Challenge festival takes centre stage.

The Diski is returning to KwaMhlanga for the first time this season, as the last event was in September 2024.

The second festival of the 2025/26 season will see eight teams battle in four matches, two on Saturday and two on Sunday.

Orlando Pirates will kick off the proceedings on Saturday with a clash against Chippa United at 10:00.

The Bucanners have had a fairly start to the season as they drew once and won once. Chippa, on the other hand, have one win and a defeat. Pirates are heading to this game with an upper hand as they have dominated The Chilli Boys, winning all their last five meetings.

Mamelodi Sundowns and Durban City FC will face off in the second match of the festival on Saturday at 12:30.

On Sunday, Magesi FC will be up against Siwelele Sa Masele in the morning. Both teams are searching for their first victory of the season, as they are yet to get a win.

TS Galaxy will entertain the league's reigning champions, Kaizer Chiefs, in the final match of the weekend at 12:30.

Amakhosi have had a promising start, winning both opening matches against newbies Orbit College (2-1) and (3-2) against Stellenbosch FC, who finished second last season.

The action will also be broadcast live on SuperSport PSL channel 202 and Variety 4, channel 209.
