Enye yama-derby amakhulu ebholeni lomhlaba i-Soweto Derby izodlalelwa phambi kwezihlwele okokuqala ngqa selokhu kwabheduka ubhubhane lwe-Covid-19, kubhala uMenzi Magubane.
Amaqembu amabili ase-Soweto azobhekana ngqo ngoMgqibelo kanti kuningi okusazodlalelwa ngaphezu kwamaphuzu amathathu kuphela, njengoba abalandeli abangu-87 000 kulindeleke ukuthi bazosingatha amaqembu abo okokuqala eminyakeni emithathu.
KwiKaizer Chiefs nakwi-Orlando Pirates, ukuzigqaja nokuzishaya isifuba kubaluleke kakhulu njengodumo uqobo lwalo.
Inkundla yezemidlalo i-FNB izobe igcwele phama ngalolu suku, kanti zonke izihlalo ezitholakalayo ezingu-87 000 zizodayiswa ngoLwesibili.
Ngesizini edlule iChiefs ibikhonya kunePirates ngemuva kokuwina imidlalo yasekhaya kanye neyasekuhambeni ye-DStv Premiership.
Njengoba sekushiwo lokho, abaningi bazizwa sengathi iPirates yiyona izintandokazi zokuwina lo mdlalo ngoMgqibelo.
Ukwesekwa okukhulu kubheke kwiPirates ngemuva kokuwina ngendlela egculisayo ngesikhathi ibhekene neMamelodi Sundowns ngempelasonto edlule kowandulela owamanqamu we-MTN8. Akungabazeki ukuthi iyiqembu okufanele libukwe njengoba lihamba phambili emdlalweni yayo.
Ngemuva kokudlala imidlalo emithathu ilandelana ngaphandle kokushaya igoli, iPirates ibonakala isizitholele isu elihle emidlalweni yayo emibili edlule.
Ukushaya amagoli amathathu ibhekene neSundowns ngoMgqibelo kuzoba umdlalo ozoqinisekisa abalandeli bePirates ukuthi ingakwazi ukuhlula iChiefs. Ngendlela iChiefs ehluleka ngayo emuva kule sizini, kungenzeka isiphetho sibe kanjalo.
Kufanele kushiwo futhi ukuthi la maqembu amabili ebengaqondakali kuze kube manje kule sizini, kodwa futhi amanye amaqembu amaningi enze okufanayo.
Okungangabazeki ukuthi abazozizwa benengcindezi enkulu uma kudlala la maqembu amabili ngabaqeqeshi.
Mayelana nabadlali, bahlezi benezinhloso zabo kodwa ngabaqeqeshi abahlezi besolwa abalandeli uma izinto zingahambi kahle.
