Meanwhile, the coastal city of Cape Town will have no representative in top-flight football next season after Cape Town City failed to win a single match in the relegation/promotion play-offs and ultimately got relegated, with Orbit City coming up to the elite division.

Consequently, they went into the play-offs against the Motsepe Foundation Championship duo of Casric Stars and Orbit College, where they failed to win a single one of their four fixtures.
In their final dead-rubber encounter of the play-offs, they drew 1-1 against Casric Stars, who have also been denied promotion at their second time of asking.
Vreman's immediate mandate will be to get the side back up to the topflight after attempts to purchase a status failed, according to reports.
