“But one thing for sure, don’t forget that Chippa United hasn’t lost to Orlando Pirates this season. And we are at home. And they know when the first match when we played them, they scored with a goal that was supposed to be an offside. It was 1-1. So they owe to us."

"One thing for sure come Saturday, they must just focus on the Champions League, they must leave the Nedbank Cup to Chippa because this cup belongs to Chippa United. I think we need to honour our chairman with this cup.”

The Chilli Boys are celebrating a decade since moving to Eastern Cape province from Cape Town at the end of the 2013/14 season after their return to the PSL, per GOAL.
