AmaZulu FC coach Arthur Zwane says Usuthu are in the Betway Premiership “to compete” as they prepare to face Mamelodi Sundowns.
The two sides will face off on Wednesday with kick-off scheduled for 19:30. Sundowns will be looking to bounce back from their surprise MTN8 semi-final first-leg defeat to Golden Arrows last weekend.

Meanwhile, AmaZulu return to action after more than a week following their 2-0 league victory over Siwelele at Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium.
Zwane is not looking too far ahead, saying they will deal with the challenge of facing the African champions when they arrive in Pretoria.
“As I’ve said before, we’re taking it one game at a time,” said Zwane.
“We don’t want to put ourselves under pressure. But we’re in this league to compete and we’re going to cross that bridge when we get there.”
AmaZulu have proved to be a tricky opponent for Sundowns in the past, but recent meetings have firmly gone the way of the Brazilians.
The Tshwane giants have claimed six consecutive victories over the KZN side since the start of the 2023/24 season.
