KwaDukuza United coach Thami Ngubani says he knew that Ajax Cape Town would make several changes to their starting line-up after his side’s 4-3 triumph on penalties. Ngubani, who came close to shocking Orlando Pirates in the 2014 edition of the Nedbank Cup round of 32 when he was in charge of Thanda Royal Zulu, said at the press conference in midweek that he felt Stanley Menzo may tinker with his starting line-up because they are still in the danger zone in the Absa Premiership.

The Cape-based side left out season campaigners from the starting line-up such as Nathan Paulse, Abel Mabaso, Bantu Mzwakali and Lebogang Mokoena whilst Thabo Mosadi and Mark Mayambela were not part of the traveling squad.
