The Buccaneers and Mamelodi Sundowns will be hoisting the South African flag high in Caf's biggest inter-club competition this weekend.

The Brazilians are away to AS FAR of Morocco while the Buccaneers will be at home to current holders, the Egyptian powerhouse Al-Ahly at Orlando Stadium.

Teko Modise, who is now a Sundowns ambassador and a regular feature on the club's popular pitchside podcast, reckons the Tshwane giants are the only PSL team that can cope with the demands of playing across different competitions.
