In the 119th episode of the Arena Sports Show, host Clauiee Grace Mpanza and regular guest Mahlatse Mphahlele were joined by sports journalist Tshepang Mailwane.
The show starts with a discussion on how defending champions Orlando Pirates have looked good in the early stages of the campaign despite having made wholesale changes to the team.
It is not going to be easy for them with Mamelodi Sundowns, who are determined to reclaim the league trophy, Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu also having started the season on a promising note.
The discussion moved to the semifinal stage of the MTN8 at the weekend where Pirates enjoy a 1-0 advantage over Sekhukhune United and Golden Arrows having a similar lead over Mamelodi Sundowns.
There was also spotlight on the Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC) which promises to be exhilarating this season as they chase promotion to the elite league.
