Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC, the second Betway Premiership representative, will fly the South African flag in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Amakhosi sealed a spot after winning last season's Nedbank Cup final, thanks to Yusuf Maart's superb late winner at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
According to CAF, each participating team in the preliminary rounds will now pocket R1.7 million to help cover travel, accommodation, and match preparation. That's double the previous amount…Full story here.

'Nasreddine Nabi is not coming back' – Ex-Kaizer Chiefs attacker
Former Kaizer Chiefs attacker Junior Khanye is under the impression that Amakhosi head coach Nasreddine Nabi will not return to Naturena. The Tunisian tactician left the club just before the season kicked off to attend to his wife, who was involved in an accident. In the two Betway Premiership which Chiefs played, Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze have guided the club to two wins. Speaking after Amakhosi's 1-0 win over Polokwane City on Wednesday, Khanye felt the home side deserved the win despite playing poor football. 'This was not an exciting game, to be honest. It lacked intensity and was played at a slow pace. But well done to the Chiefs; they deserved to win this game. They didn't play beautiful football, but they were more aggressive than this team,' he said. The former SA U/23 star had his doubts about Nabi's return, given how the team has performed without him. 'Personally, I had my doubts if he was coming back this season. They did mention in their statement that his wife was sick (involved in an accident). But when I look at it, I think it raises a lot of questions. 'Well done to the assistant coach, they won, but the team is still not balanced,' Khanye said on iDiski TV. 'For me, the technical team has shown that they can win without him.' Kaizer Chiefs will next be in action against Richards Bay at home next Tuesday. The Glamour Boys are currently top of the log after two matches. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Another undeserved loss for Richards Bay FC
Richards Bay FC supporters pinched themselves when they woke this (Thursday) morning, hoping the 1-0 loss to Lamontville Golden Arrows last night had just been a bad dream. But it was, in fact, real – a nightmare. After again hugely dominating proceedings, firing shots at will against their opponents, the Rich Boyz were simply unable to put the ball into the back of the net. There were at least a dozen clear opportunities, when it looked easier to score than to miss, but not one that mattered. It was the opposite story for Arrows, whose lone second-half chance was well and truly buried by Junior Dion – a magnificent volley from just outside the box that left four defenders and goalkeeper Salim Magoola mere spectators. No stopper in the world would have got near, and ultimately the 82nd minute goal was enough to deny NRB the win they thoroughly deserved. That's two losses in two games in an unlucky start to their Betway Premiership campaign, after losing 2-1 to Marumo Gallants in the season opener. And it won't get easier as they travel to the FNB Stadium on Tuesday to meet Kaizer Chiefs and their thousands of fans. But they have played extremely well thus far, and if Lady Luck changes her fickle mind, this time they could well get the rewards they deserve. Don't have the ZO app?
