Mbatha vs Cele: KwaMashu's Finest set for showdown at Moses Mabhida Stadium
Independent on Saturday
|May 10, 2025
THALENTE Mbatha and Thabo Cele, both sons of KwaMashu, will go head-to-head when Orlando Pirates take on Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup final at a sold-out Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
Kick-off is set for 3.30pm today.
While the clash marks a major football occasion for the country, for the Durban township of KwaMashu, it’s a moment of pride as two of its most talented exports meet on the grandest stage in South African football.
Mbatha, who has quickly become a midfield mainstay for Pirates since joining from SuperSport United last season, acknowledged the magnitude of the moment, though he downplayed the idea of a personal duel.
"It’s something that’s really special for people that are coming from KwaMashu and the community," said Mbatha.
