The 2017 Telkom Knockout last 16 dates, kick off times and venues have been revealed and Kaizer Chiefs have decided to play their home game against AmaZulu in Durban.
Much to everyone’s surprise, Kaizer Chiefs have decided to take their home game against AmaZulu to their opponent’s city. AmaKhosi might have been prompted by poor attendance whenever they play in Gauteng recently and they know that their fans in KwaZulu-Natal are starved of big matches. I’m expecting their fans to outnumber the “visiting” teams’ at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
There’s another big match happening in Durban on the same day. Lamontville Golden Arrows host Orlando Pirates at Princess Magogo Stadium. Here is the full list of fixtures.
