MAMELODI SUNDOWNS will be the noticeable absentee in the MTN8 semi-finals after being kicked on the back side by a determined and sharp Bloemfontein Celtic in the quarter-finals on Sunday night.
Celtic will face defending cup champions, SuperSport United, while Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will meet in the other semi-final.
Sundowns were playing for the first time since their long-time coach, Pitso Mosimane, moved to Al Ahly and the club now is manned by trio - Manqoba Mngqithi, Rhulani Mokwena and Steve Komphela.
