Gumede serves the last game after a red card at the end of last season, while Mukamba is out after being sent off against Stars at the beginning of the month. \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sowetanlive.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sowetan Live<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more breaking MTN8 news,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/tag\/mtn8\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more breaking sporting news and views, visit MySport24 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySport24\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mysport24?ref=hl\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/chiefs-play-host-to-pirates-in-mtn-8-semi-final\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/dbb92_192978621_80_806.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/chiefs-play-host-to-pirates-in-mtn-8-semi-final\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chiefs play host to Pirates in MTN 8 semi-final<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bidvest-wits-have-advantage-over-platinum-stars\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/dbb92_193263824_80_803.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bidvest-wits-have-advantage-over-platinum-stars\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bidvest Wits have advantage over Platinum Stars<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bilankulu-excited-to-make-wits-debut\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/dbb92_191637544_80_802.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bilankulu-excited-to-make-wits-debut\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bilankulu excited to make Wits debut<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/dbb92_zemified_h.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benjani Mwaruwari injury scare over.
