Kaizer Chiefs have announced a wonderful perk for their fans who drive Toyota vehicles ahead of their titanic Soweto Derby clash on Saturday. 

The story

The inconsistent Amakhosi are set to do battle with their arch-rivals Orlando Pirates on the weekend, a fixture that will mark the 117 league meeting between the two iconic clubs. 

The FNB stadium is expected to be almost fully-packed, as a staggering 84 700 tickets were made available, with almost 40 000 of them having been sold by midday on Tuesday, according to TimesLive.

The supporters are well aware that parking and getting inside the venue on time is often a challenge due to the staggering attendance that the fixture brings. However, the Naturena outfit have confirmed that those who drive Toyota will be provided with designated parking outside the stadium, thanks to a provision made by the club and their automobile sponsor.

The Soweto Derby is widely considered to be the biggest match of the PSL calendar regardless of the two sides' run of form. The Glamour Boys are winless in four of their last five DStv Premiership matches, while Pirates have won four of their previous five league games. 

Chiefs sit fifth on the table, while their opponents occupy the third spot, albeit the latter are still a staggering 24 points behind log-leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
