South African football is exciting and filled with the usual razzmatazz that characterizes the game in Europe.

MTN8 winners list – who has more titles?
The battle is usually between the three heavyweights of the PSL – Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
Before we go far, letโs remind you that Orlando Pirates are the defending champions and on course to retain their title.
The Bucs secured a 5-0 thrashing of Sekhukune United in the quarter-final to book a date with Stellenbosch FC on September 1, 2023.
The other top dogs are Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns. They will do battle in the second semi-final.
So, to the elephant in the room. Who has more MTN8 titles?
