Orlando Pirates and Bloemfontein Celtic clash in the final of the MTN8 on Saturday evening, with both desperate to earn some silverware.
Pirates are in their sixth year of a trophy drought, having last lifted a cup in 2014 when they vanquished Bidvest Wits in the Nedbank Cup.
“It has to be a motivation for us. Having said that, after six years the team hasn’t won any trophy. Looking at how we’ve performed throughout the tournament, [we have to] make sure that we break that cycle and make sure that each and every player who hasn’t won a cup at Orlando Pirates writes their history in the club’s books,” Pirates defender, Thulani Hlatshwayo said this week.
