The Soweto Derby is a chance for Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates to steal the shine from Mamelodi Sundowns — even if for just 90 minutes.
Mamelodi Sundowns may have monopolised South African soccer in recent years. They head into each local game they play as favourites, and more often than not, they live up to this tag. Hence, they have won five DStv Premiership titles on the trot, and are cantering towards a sixth unchallenged.
Amakhosi find themselves even further away from the record South African champions, lagging behind the 12-time league winners by 27 points.

Roads leading to the showpiece will be packed with sellers of vuvuzelas and the option for face painting — amongst other pop-up businesses for the day.
