Mamelodi Sundowns will have a reunion with Rulani Mokwena in the CAF Champions League after they were drawn together in Group C on Monday in Randburg with Mokwena’s side, MC Alger (Algeria), St Eloi Lupopo (Democratic Republic of Congo) and Al Hilal (Sudan).
It will be the first time that Sundowns face Mokwena in the Champions League since he left the club last year to join Wydad AC. Masandawana have reached the group stages for the 11th successive time and will go into this year’s edition as SA representatives after Pirates were knocked out of the competition by Lupopo, who will now face Sundowns.
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs will travel to Egypt twice in the Confederation Cup after they were drawn against Zamalek (Egypt), Al Masry (Egypt) and Zesco United (Zambia) in Group D. At the same time, Stellenbosch will face CR Belouizdad (Algeria), AS Otoho (DRC) and Singida Black Stars (Tanzania).
