Orlando Pirates drew AmaZulu in the Nedbank quarterfinals in the ceremony held at the SuperSport studios in Randburg on Monday evening.

The matchup is a replay of the 2022 MTN8 final, which was won 1-0 by Pirates.

For defending champions Bucs, who are in second place in the DStv Premiership, the draw against 11th-placed Usuthu is a relatively tough one.

Six-time successive DStv Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns, who are seeking to win a domestic cup for the first time since lifting the 2021-22 Nedbank Cup, were drawn against first division University of Pretoria FC.

TS Galaxy will meet Chippa United and Stellenbosch FC host SuperSport United in the other quarters.
