Magesi FC CEO John Mathibe has sent a stern warning to high-flying Orlando Pirates following the Carling Knockout Cup draw that took place in the midweek.
The two teams were drawn against each other in the Round of 16 that is set to start next week.
The Buccaneers, fresh off their victory in the MTN8 after overcoming Stellenbosch FC last week in the final, aim to maintain their impressive momentum this season.
Pirates and Magesi will face off on Saturday, 19 October at Orlando Stadium.
Mathibe says they will be out to give everything and spoil the Sea Robbers reputation on the day.

“I’m warning Pirates. We have a lot of respect for them, and we, as Magesi FC, would like to congratulate them on their recent victory as MTN8 Champions,” Mr. Mathibe told the club’s media.
“Dikwena Tša Meetse is taking this game seriously, and we are in a position to make history. It’s about everything that we have worked for; our players have an opportunity to grow as professionals, and Magesi FC will be taking the brand to another level.
“I want to promise The Chief of Moletjie, his Majesty Kgoshi Kgabo Moloto III (K3), and our supporters that we will give everything that we have on the day.
“To our esteemed Chairman and his family, we want to make you proud. As for Pirates, they have a reputation to protect, but we are ready.”
