“The PSL and Nedbank want to make the 2017 edition of the Nedbank Cup final special – after all‚ we are celebrating 10 years of a wonderful partnership‚” she said.

‘‘The Moses Mabhida Stadium is one of the country’s most iconic venues and we have hosted some historic finals there.

‘‘From Monday‚ we will intensify planning to ensure we deliver a spectacular world class event. Good luck to the four clubs that have qualified for the semi-finals.”
