Mafikeng Stadium opened its gates to the Amakhosi faithful in May of this year when

Kaizer Chiefs hosted its arch rivals, Orlando Pirates in the 12th “Soweto Derby” since

the inception of the PSL in 1996.

On Saturday, 15 November 2008 the Derby returns to the North West. The two

Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, will battle it out on the field of play

once again at the Mafikeng Stadium. The stage is set for another thrilling encounter

with both teams in the hunt for 3 valuable points in the League.

As we draw closer to the brief holiday interval of the fast-paced Premiership race,

soccer loving fans could not have asked for a better encounter than the Derby.

It is

certain that fireworks are set to fly at the Mafikeng Stadium in Mmabatho this

weekend. Cunning tactics, focus, zeal, and determination are among the ingredients

that characterize the “on-the-field-fever” of South Africa’s number one Derby.

A curtain raiser match between Kaizer Chiefs Female Celebrity Team and the North

West SAB Team will precede the highly anticipated Derby. Kick off for the Curtain

Raiser will be at 13h00. MC Meshack Mavuso, DJ Smalls, DJ MK, Kelly Khumalo,

Rhythmic Elements (Two by Two fame), and dozens of dancers will increase the

hype of the Derby when showcasing their talents in providing outstanding

entertainment.

Walala! Wasala! Loosely translated to “you snooze you lose”. The tickets are

selling at R20.00 for adults and R10.00 for children at Computicket and Shoprite

Checkers outlets. Sales reports show that tickets are selling like hot cakes, and

chances are if you don’t buy your tickets today, they will be SOLD OUT!

The day will end with an Official Derby After Party at the Mmabatho Convention

Centre featuring more than a dozen entertainers, including Rhythmic Elements,

Morafe, Chomee, DJ Cleo, Bleksem, KB (of Channel O), DJ Zinhle and many more.

This party will be the cherry on top of the cake as the Amakhosi Family celebrates

yet another Derby with its biggest rivals. Doors open at 19h30, and the General

Admission Fee is R100.
