The Amakhosi will go into 2014 MTN 8 Wafa Wafa quarterfinals as the most successful club with fourteen titles under their name. Started in 1972, two years after Kaizer Chiefs was formed, the MTN 8 is the current name of South Africa's oldest football (soccer) cup competition.

The MTN 8 Cup is made up of the top eight teams that finished in that order at the close of the previous Absa Premiership season. The first round is structured such that after finishing second last season, The Glamour Boys will play MP Black Aces that finished seventh.

The winner receives R8 million. The competition was previously known as BP Top 8 (sponsored by BP) and SAA Supa 8 (sponsored by South African Airways).

Tsepo Masilela expressed confidence looking ahead of the Cup they lost out in the semifinals last season. Masilela said, “This is a new season. What happened last season stays in the past as history. We are inspired and we will approach the game with the spirit of winners.”

About the opponents, MP Black Aces?

Masilela said, “Aces are not a push over. They proved their credentials by finishing seventh last season. The cup game is about getting to the next round, and that’s what we are preparing to do.”

About the readiness of the Glamour Boys?

Masilela said, “We are ready. We are professionals, though it is still early days to know how far ready we are, Sunday will be the start of good things to come. The Coach will come up with the tactics and strategy to overcome Aces. We are going into the game with confidence and inspiration to win.”
