Chiefs will host United in the third quarter-final of the MTN8 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium at 20h15.
“For me as a SuperSport brand ambassador, I always represent SuperSport and I will always want SuperSport to go to the next round,” Mahlangu tells snl24.com/kickoff.
“But it’s not going to be easy as Kaizer Chiefs has made good signings this season. They came close two years in a row. So, [I think] this is the season for Chiefs to turn it around.
“But also SuperSport, we know that we have a good team, we know how to play cup finals, and we know how to play big games. So, it’s going to be interesting. I hope that at the end of the day SuperSport go through to the next round.”
Mahlangu welcomed Chiefs’ decision to take the game to Durban.
“Actually in Durban, I think Chiefs there have more fans [than in Johannesburg]. They have a strong fan base in Durban, but I also think it’s a bit of an advantage for us, SuperSport, as well.
“I played for Chiefs and I know how [the fans] feel about Chiefs [there]. But we are capable of dealing with such situations.”
