Chippa were drawn against Stellenbosch FC in the new-look tournament launched in Johannesburg.

Alongside Sundowns, Mammila also shared his preference to be drawn against Soweto giants, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
"If it was possible, I wanted to face Sundowns, while they are still limping after their defeat in the MTN8 final.
"After not getting Sundowns my prayer was to get Chiefs or Pirates.
"I am disappointed, as I said, my wish was to play in a full stadium in Port Elizabeth, which is good for football.
"Nevertheless, I got Stellenbosch, they are a hard-working team, a team that can run for 90 minutes.
"They are a team that has proven to everyone that they are a good team while we also proved that we are a good team this season.
"We can play, we can match every team pound-for-pound, and that's not a joke."
