It was expected to be a routine assignment, but cheered on by a vociferous home crowd, the home side grabbed the win. Mduduzi Nkosi grabbed the winner three minutes before halftime, and City, despite playing a strong lineup, couldn’t respond. Their first ever Nedbank Cup experience proved a chastening one.

14 April, 2010Platinum Stars (0) 2 (Senamela 58, 73)ALS Puk Tawana (2) 3 (Phetolo 12, Shongwe 34, 64)Vodacom League side Als Puk Tawana secured a major scalp when they beat Premiership Platinum Stars in a North West Province Derby in the first round in 2010. The lower league side, a feeder team for Premiership Mamelodi Sundowns, stunned their hosts with two first-half goals from Lebepe Phetolo and Jabulani Shongwe.
Stars got a goal back through Kagiso Senamela just before the hour mark and might have felt they were beginning to take control of the tie, before Shongwe netted his second to make the scoreline 3-1. The minnows might have been further ahead too, but Stars goalkeeper Tapuwa Kapini saved Buhlebuyeza Mkhwanazi's penalty, just to add to the drama. Senamela scored again to complete his brace and set up a barnstorming final 17 minutes, but try as they might, Dikwena could not find a way through. 24 April, 2011Baroka FC (1) 2 (Ndlovu 44, Mncwango 90)Kaizer Chiefs (1) 1 (Musona 36)This match provided the biggest upset in South African football history at the time and was the first time Kaizer Chiefs had been beaten by third-tier opposition in their illustrious 40-year history.

Maluti were ahead in just 47 seconds, Lucky Mokoena collecting a pass to score his first of the afternoon. Mashale Rantabane made it two when he headed home a free-kick, before Lucky Mokoena got his second with a looping header over Senzo Meyiwa to leave The Buccaneers stunned. And Mokoena had a chance for the hat-trick when the home side were awarded a penalty, but he could not get power in his shot and the opportunity was wasted. Pirates midfielder Oupa Manyisa pulled a goal back from Happy Jele’s square-ball, but Rantabane headed home with nine minutes remaining to secure a famous result. Maluti proved the result was no fluke by winning promotion to the National First Division at the end of the season.
But Baroka were back on level terms just a minute before the break, veteran Sam Ndlovu heading home from a corner to stun the visitors. Chiefs had numerous opportunities in the second half to secure the win, but after a litany of misses, were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal. Baroka striker Thobani Mncwango bundled the ball home in injury time after a melee in the box to complete the greatest victory in the club’s short history. 23 February, 2013Maluti FET College (2) 4 (L Mokoena 1, 56 Rantabane 25, 81)Orlando Pirates (0) 1 (Manyisa 59)Third-tier Maluti FET College then produced what is arguably the greatest ever cup shock in South African football. The Free State side defeated 2011 Nedbank Cup champions Pirates in convincing fashion in what is arguably a bigger surprise than Baroka FC’s 2011 quarterfinal win over Kaizer Chiefs.

23 January, 2019Polokwane City (1) 1 (Anas 29’)Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (0) 2 (Manqele 56’, 86’)This was a Limpopo derby and a first-ever meeting between top-flight Polokwane City, who were riding high at the time, and National First Division outfit Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila, making their debut in the Nedbank Cup last 32. The home side were heavy favourites and it was no surprise when they took the lead just before the hour-mark through Ghanaian forward Mohammed Anas. Most expected them to go on and claim an easy win, but TTM had other ideas and their veteran forward Edward Manqele, once of Kaizer Chiefs, scored a classy brace in the second half. He showed great pace to finish with his first, and then got a winner four minutes from time to send the visitors into wild celebrations.

The lower league side showed great mental strength to twice come from behind and take the game to spot-kicks, where they eventually triumphed 4-3. Ajax had looked on course when Neo Makua put them ahead inside the first minute, but shortly afterwards the confident home side responded via striker Lungelo Zondi, who has National First Division experience with Real Kings, and had also been part of the Natal United side that beat top-flight Chippa United in 2015.
Pirates only generated four points out of a possible nine from their final three matches: A victory over Maritzburg United, a draw with Royal AM and a loss to SuperSport. Kaizer Chiefs, who confirmed Arthur Zwane as their new head coach, will also miss out on playing in Africa next season after the fifth-place finish in the league. Meanwhile, Cape Town City FC will be joining Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns in the Champions League next season. The Citizens head coach Eric Tinkler returned to the club in May last year and has done a remarkable job in taking the club from fighting for a top-eight spot to a second-place finish in the 2021/22 campaign.

Ajax were back in front just past the hour-mark through forward Prince Nxumalo, but once again they could not hold onto their lead as former African Warriors and Mthatha Bucks midfielder Khulu Khumalo equalised. That was the way it stayed and United were able to seal victory in the shoot-out, another notable scalp for coach Thami Ngubane. 12 March, 2017Acornbush (1) 1 (Nkosi 42’)Cape Town City 0Cape Town City were in their first season as a club but had already picked up the Telkom Knockout as they travelled to Mpumalanga to face third-tier Acornbush, who were coached by current Sekhukhune United boss MacDonald Makhubedu.
