On the same day, Mokwena will reach 50 games in charge since he was elevated to become the stand-alone head at Chloorkop following the humiliating 3-0 defeat in the MTN semi-finals in October last year.
Prior to that, Mokwena had been co-head coach with Manqoba Mngqithi for two years with their appointment having been necessitated by Pitso Mosimane's sudden departure to Al Ahly.
Mokwena has been cruising since over on October 24, 2022.
From hammering Maritzburg 5-0 in his first game in charge, Mokwena has gone on to win 34 games from 47 to date during which he won the DStv Premiership.
Twelve have ended in draws while it has only been Stellenbosch FC that he has lost to in open play in that Nedbank Cup defeat in April.
The recent MTN8 final defeat to Orlando Pirates came on penalties after the two teams could not be separated after 120 minutes.
Wednesday night is game number 48 for Mokwena and is against TS Galaxy in the first round of the Carling Knockout Cup.
Saturday's African Football League tie away at Petro de Luanda in Angola will be number 49 with game number 50 coming on Tuesday, October 24 which will be exactly a year since his appointment as Sundowns head coach.

Sundowns have already played 14 matches so far.
