Eight-time cup winner Daine Klate has told the players from Orlando Pirates and Sekhukhune United that they must leave everything out on the pitch when they clash in the Nedbank Cup on Saturday.

Klate, who played for Bafana Bafana as well as for SuperSport United, Pirates, Bidvest Wits and Chippa United featured in 11 finals during his storied career, finishing on the right side on eight occasions.

Speaking to The Sowetan he warned that as important as winning was, coming away from the game with no regrets was even more important.

“It’s all about the day, the players must start thinking about the day and then coming to the party.

“If you think about that, you don’t want to regret anything saying I should have done this and that, you want to play the game to the best of your ability whether you win or lose and come off the field with disappointment, but you’ll have the satisfaction that you gave it your all,” he said.

When asked to predict a winner Klate refused to be drawn. “It’s going to be an interesting game; Pirates have been in a rich vein of form and so too Sekhukhune – because knocking out Stellenbosch is not an easy feat,” he said.

“Credit to the technical teams, that is why those two teams can compete.

“It’s all about the plan on the day and execution from the collective, there’s going to be tactics and game plans, and it all boils down to the players having the desire to give their all,” he said.
