Reports on Wednesday also said that Bamenda's tour contingent has not flown out of Cameroon by late Wednesday because of visa problems.
Chiefs indicated that they were happy to play, but Sunday was out of the question because of DStv Premiership League commitments on Tuesday.

"We still have not heard from CAF and at this stage, it looks like the match will be played on Saturday, but CAF will have the final say," said Maphosa.
"We cannot play on Sunday because we have a league fixture on Tuesday.
"As far as I know PWD Bamenda are still in Cameroon and not boarded a flight yet."
One report indicated that Bamenda had experienced visa problems which caused them to apply for a postponement.
