Stellenbosch coach Steve Barker will be looking to sink Orlando Pirates after drawing the MTN8 holders for a home semifinal.
The Maroon Army battled past SuperSport United in the quarterfinals with a 1-0 extra-time win on Sunday, thanks to Andre de Jong’s 100th-minute winner at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
As a reward, Stellies host Pirates in the final four, with Kaizer Chiefs entertaining Mamelodi Sundowns - with dates and venues yet to be confirmed by the PSL.
We will welcome Orlando Pirates back to the Western Cape in the semi-final of this season's #MTN8 competition.

After booking a club-first semi in the MTN8, the coach reckons The Ghost will be running scared.
Having also led his span to the Nedbank Cup semifinals last season, he says: “We are among big names in the draw.
