Nedbank Cup fever is about to hit Stellenbosch, with Sekhukhune United coming to visit for the semifinals this Sunday at Danny Craven Stadium.
A win and progress to the final could crown a special moment in Stellies’ eight-year history as a professional football club.
It’s been a process that began in the NFD where they became champions and now count themselves amongst the top 16 teams in the country.

This season’s Nedbank Cup journey is another feather in their cap, as this will be the club’s first appearance at this stage.
Returning star player Iqraam Rayners is on form and will be raring to go after sitting out of Stellies’ PSL clash with former club SuperSport last night.
Rayners may be signed to Stellies on a permanent deal, but he revealed that the Maroons caved into Matsatsantsa’s demand that he can’t face them this season as part of his January deadline-day transfer.
With 15 goals since then - nine in the league and six in the cup - hopefully he will on the hunt again against Sekhukhune this weekend.
It’s a historic moment that can be extra special if sealed with a win that takes the club to their first cup final!
