The other semifinal will see Chippa United host Orlando Pirates at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Chippa reached the semifinal after they beat Galaxy 2-0 on Sunday.

The final for the Nedbank Cup will take place at Mbombela Stadium after the PSL announced the draw.

The dates and venues for the semifinals will be announced in due course by the league.
