According to iDiskiTimes, Khoza said:

“Today, I’m happy to announce a new sponsor, partner Carling Black Label,” he said on Tuesday morning. There is a gap in our calendar, the Telkom used to be played between October and December. So we tried to find space for our new competition.

We have agreed as a league, the Exco is aware, to launch the Carling Knockout Cup. We’ve discovered that in and around December people need more football. We’ve agreed to a bit of innovation to go into it.”
