Kaizer Chiefs youngster Mduduzi Shabalala has opened up on fond memories of the last time the Soweto giants took on Magesi FC as the two teams prepare to do battle again.
Chiefs are looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday by collecting all three points on offer against Magesi.

Speaking to SuperSport TV, Shabalala recalled the last time the two teams met - an encounter in which the former DStv Diski Challenge star emerged as a hero after scoring a brace.
The two sides drew 2-2 after Amakhosi had gone behind by a two-goal deficit.
"I think the comeback was very special," says 'Mdu'.
"We were 2-0 down and if you remember, there was about 12 minutes left in the game and Magesi would have killed us and people would have talked about us the whole week.
"So, scoring the first goal, it was like, okay, we can come back into the game, there are 10 minutes left.
"After about 30 seconds [after kick-off] they gave us the ball back. [Rushwin] Dortley played a good pass to [Wandile] Duba - he hit the post, it went for a rebound.
"The defender could not clear the ball and it fell to me. The first thing in my mind was whatever you are going to do, just do it now - hit the ball," remembers the attacking midfielder.

He, however, landed in hot water with the match officials and his teammates after taking off his shirt to celebrate the equaliser, an act that earned him a yellow card.
"I forgot that it was 2-2 and not 3-2, so I took off my shirt at the corner. Now I'm at the corner flag and Happy [Mashiane] came to me to tell me: "Put on your T-shirt, let's go!'
"Because I had forgotten it's 2-2, there was still time to score another one."
This time around, Magesi will be under the guidance of Owen Da Gama and go into the encounter having claimed a vital win over SuperSport United on the weekend.
