Although the competition dates back to the 1970s, it officially became the Nedbank Cup in 2008, with Sundowns winning the first edition under the current sponsorship.
Since then, the tournament has produced some remarkable success stories, with the likes of Moroka Swallows, Free State Stars, Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila, and TS Galaxy famously lifting the trophy.
Khune, who won the tournament in 2013 with Chiefs, has now selected his dream team made up of players who have excelled in the competition.
The former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper left out the 11th player, allowing fans to decide on the missing second centre-back – see below!
