Fans’ Anticipation
Stellenbosch fans eagerly anticipate their season opener against Orlando Pirates, where they hope to see Sekgota’s skillset in action. Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs supporters will have to wait until Sunday to watch their team’s first match of the DStv Premiership season against Chippa.
