JOHANNESBURG – The surviving Nedbank Cup teams will learn their fate when the Round of 16 draw will be conducted live on television on Thursday evening at 7pm on SuperSport's channel 204.

The PSL’s Luxolo September, Professor Ronnie Schloss and Nedbank’s Buli Mbha will conduct the draw.

After Wednesday night's fixtures, all the 16 clubs that have qualified have been confirmed.

So far, the Nedbank Cup has lived up to its reputation with some major upsets over the last couple of days. 

The first upset happened on the first day of the competition when Tshakhuma FC outfoxed Polokwane City in the Limpopo Derby in Polokwane.
