Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has urged the Yellow Nation to fill up Loftus Versfeld Stadium to witness their team being officially crowned as 2023/24 DStv Premiership champions.
Sundowns have already snatched their seventh league title in a row after remaining unbeaten going into the last DStv Premiership fixture of the season.
The Brazilians have won 22 games and drawn seven to set a new record in the PSL era.

They could finish the season with 76 points if they beat Cape Town City in the capital on Saturday.
Mokwena has urged Masandawana to draw inspiration from Manchester City fans, who filled the Etihad Stadium to the brim last Sunday as their team were crowned English Premier League champions after defeating West Ham United 3-1.
Even worse is that, as reported by KickOff earlier this month, the last time Sundowns were crowned league champions in front of their home fans on a weekend was during the 2015/16 season.
"I hope the fans watched the Manchester City match over the weekend and how full the stadium was. Even though of course they were disappointed they lost in the quarter-finals of the [UEFA] Champions League, but there was a huge sense of appreciation for the fourth league title in a row," explained the young coach.
"We have now delivered, the special group delivered the seventh trophy league in a row for a team known as Masandawana Menwana Phezulu for a special trophy handover.
"My plea is for them to come and honour the players, they fill up Loftus Stadium and they give the players celebration and the atmosphere they deserve. Also, [one] they deserve as supporters. They deserve to celebrate it because these moments don't come forever and repeat themselves and stay forever.
"They have got to enjoy them, they've got to enjoy the period because it's a special period and it's a period given to us by the grace of God and they deserve it," Mokwena added.

Interestingly, since Mokwena took charge as sole head coach, the one team he has failed to beat is Cape Town City, and that they are the team standing between The Brazilians and achieving season-long invincibility should make for a cracker of an encounter.
