Mamelodi Sundowns take on Bloemfontein Celtic in an MTN8 Quarter final clash this Sunday, just over a month since their controversial 1-0 victory against the same Siwelele outfit in the Nedbank Cup final.
The Tshwane based outfit last won a top eight cup trophy back in 2007, when the tournament was still known as the SAA Super Eight Cup, which they also won 1-0 against Mpumalanga Black Aces courtesty of former star Lerato Chabangu. The MTN 8 is the only current domestic trophy that Ka Bo Yellow are yet to get into their fast growing trohpy cabinet.

Bafana Bafana and Downs defender Mosa Lebusa admitted that "Ever since I joined the team, whenever we play the MTN 8, I know that the guys want to win this trophy. It has been a while since we last won it. It has been more than ten years and I think that we have been unlucky because we are so desperate to win it. We have to be calm and give our best, said the 28-year-old.
The ex-Ajax Cape Town captain who lifted the trophy in 2015 added that "I have won the trophy and one thing about this competition is that it has a very short format, once you win the opening game, you are already in the semi-finals. We are going to do our best to make sure that we fight and bring the cup home! It all starts this weekend in our clash against Bloemfontein Celtic," concluded Lebusa.
