The
two sides have already met three times this season with the Glamour Boys
sending Bidvest Wits packing (3-1) in the league fixture at the Mbombela
Stadium in the league back on 25 September 2012, but lost (3-2) in the Telkom
Cup on 19 October 2012. However, the Students had no answers as rampant Chiefs
brushed them (0-3) aside last Saturday, 23 February 2013 to proceed to the Last
16 of the Nedbank Cup.
The
Glamour Boys go to the game against Bidvest Wits with their heads held high.
They have collected seven out of nine points since the league programme resumed
early in February 2013 following the Africa Cup of Nations break.
Tickets
for the eagerly anticipated fixture are already on sale at Shoprite/Checkers
and Computicket nationwide - selling for R40 adults and R10 for scholars.
Marketing
Director Jessica Motaung commented saying; “We are not taking the game against
Bidvest Wits for granted and the game we played in Mbombela over the weekend is
water under the bridge. The game on Saturday will be a different new game and
we are expecting Wits to come with guns blazing.
The
Technical Team is pleased in the manner the players have responded in the past
couple of weeks taking into consideration the tight schedule and the travelling
involved. The players and everyone at Naturena is aware that it’s the battles
that we have won not the war,”
The
two sides locked horns at the beginning of the season in a pulsating fixture
that produced a goalless draw, the game that ended Kaizer Chiefs winning
streak.
Motaung
elaborated further that the game on Saturday is as important as the Soweto
Derby next Saturday at the same venue.
“The
interest in this game has been amazing considering that it is the game before
the highly anticipated derby. It needs to be noted though that from the Club’s
perspective, the upcoming game is worth three points the same as the next
league game in Cape Town against Chippa United on Wednesday, 6 March and
Orlando Pirates at FNB on Saturday, 09 February 2013.
“We
are playing at home and I would like to urge the fans once more to continue
with the spirit that we saw in Mbombela Stadium and Peter Mokaba Stadium where
the fans rallied behind the players singing and cheering the players on. The
support has rubbed off on the team and if we continue working together the Club
will reap the rewards.
Meanwhile
the Marketing Director added that the Club will embark on Phase 2 of its
campaigns for the remainder of the season; “Support Your Team Wear Your Colours
campaign is on at Kaizer Chiefs for the season.

Derby Tickets. Visit KC Retail Store at the KC Village in Naturena. My colours
