The GladAfrica Championship makes way for Nedbank Cup round of 32 actions this weekend.

Heading into the cup break, Ajax Cape Town are the league leaders after 20 games.

They will now be looking to translate their league form into a cup run when they host TS Sporting at Athlone Stadium tomorrow night. 

Just so you know, Abantu Bemthetho from Mpumalanga, are the team that gave Ajax their only loss since the turn of 2020 right here in their backyard.

Cape Umoya United and Steenberg United were both knocked out in the previous qualification round and will thus sit this period out.

The other Cape Town team in this round is from the Safa Western Cape ABC League – Nyanga’s Zizwe United. 

They will also be home against Happy Wanderers at Athlone Stadium next week.

Honourable mention to Bolanders Stellenbosch who will host Maritzburg United at Athlone Stadium on Sunday afternoon, while Cape Town City takes on Kanyamazane Stadium that same day.
