Stellenbosch FC might have a say in the Betway Premiership title race as they face both league contenders Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
Gavin Hunt, who has won the league title four times, was appointed as Stellenbosch FC’s head coach in December when they were struggling, but now they find themselves amongst teams fighting for the top eight.

They have reached the 30-point mark, but there’s still a lot to play for, as they will face Sundowns and Pirates, both of whom are fighting for the league title.
The latest information received by iDiski Times is that the Cape Winelands side will miss defender Asekho Tiwani and Kobamelo Kodisang when they face Mamelodi Sundowns and will be without Tshegofatso Mabasa when they face Pirates. The three players are on loan, and that was the loan agreement between the two clubs and Stellenbosch.
Tiwani has already played 14 games for Stellenbosch, meanwhile Kodisang has played only three games. Mabasa has been helpful in the Stellies team, having scored three goals.
Mosa Lebusa and Olisa Ndah are allowed to play against their respective former teams, as they joined Stellenbosch FC on permanent deals.
Hunt’s side will first face the Tshwane giants on Wednesday, 22 April, then face Polokwane City before battling Orlando Pirates in the first week of May.
