The highly anticipated South African Cup of Nations quarter-final clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and Sekhukhune United has been rescheduled, with the Premier Soccer League (PSL) confirming the new date for the fixture.
The reigning Premiership champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, will face Sekhukhune United in what promises to be an electrifying contest.
Originally postponed due to scheduling conflicts, the match will now take place next Friday at Lucas Moripe Stadium, with kick-off set for 7 p.m.

The fixture is expected to be a fierce battle, with both teams aiming for a spot in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, SuperSport United finds itself in turmoil following the dismissal of head coach Gavin Hunt.
The decision to part ways with the veteran manager comes after a disappointing run of form, with the team securing just one victory in their last ten Premiership outings.
Hunt’s departure marks a significant shift for the club, which now faces the challenge of reversing its fortunes under interim coach Andre Arendse.
With SuperSport United languishing near the relegation zone, the club must respond swiftly to avoid further setbacks.
Having amassed only 21 points from 21 matches, they face an uphill battle to secure their top-flight status.
Their upcoming fixture against Cape Town City will be crucial in their bid to turn the season around.
For SuperSport United, the South African Cup of Nations offers a lifeline in an otherwise disappointing campaign.
A strong performance in the tournament could provide the boost needed to regain momentum and restore confidence within the squad.
As the quarter-final stage approaches, teams across the competition will be aiming to stake their claim for silverware, with the stakes higher than ever.
As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on Mamelodi Sundowns and Sekhukhune United to deliver an enthralling encounter.
With a place in the semi-finals on the line, both sides will be eager to make a statement in what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
