The wait is over. Football on the domestic front is back and it will get off with a bang when six time Premier Soccer League champions and holders Mamelodi Sundowns get the show underway with a clash against Sekhukhune United.  In this edition of  the podcast, host BBK caught up with several DStv premiership coaches who told me they can't wait to get going. BBK is joined by Supersport United's Gavin Hunt, Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro, Cape Town City's Eric Tinkler and Shaun Bartlett of Cape Town Spurs.  SportsLIVE with BBK is a TimesLIVE production. 

In an exclusive sit-down with Jose Riveiro we got the Orlando Pirates coach to talk about the threat of Sekhukhune United in the upcoming Nedbank Cup final. We also quizzed him about the defensive partnership of Xoki and Sibisi, the super sub special weapon that is Sandile Mthethwa, born-again Terrence Dzvukamanja and the versatile energetic battery that is Mako Paseka Mako. Are you interested to find out if Richard Offori and Siyabonga Mpontshane have a future at Bucs? You want to know how is the relationship between Riveiro and Mandla Ncikazi? Listen to SportsLive with BBK alongside partner in crime Sazi Hadebe. SportLIVE with BBK is a TimesLIVE production.
