The most prestigious Cup in SA? No. The MTN Top 8 Cup tournament is the traditional start to the South African season. Contested by the top 8 clubs who finished in the league the previous season. Design to give every team in the league table something to fight for till the very end of the season. Top teams fight for the league and Continental competitions. Teams in the middle of the table fight for Top8 qualification and the bottom ranked teams fight against relegation. Interesting the UEFA Conferations Cup was created for the same reason. Did they look at the PSL for inspiration? I'm sure of it.
