Mamelodi Sundowns are now guaranteed a prize money of R23.6 million in the CAF Champions League, but that’s the least of their priorities.

The semi-finalists in Africa’s premium club competition have already secured USD 1,200,000 (R23.6 million in today’s exchange rate), with the winners of the competition taking home USD 4,000,000 (R78.5 million).

However, the focus has shifted to whether there could be an all-South African final for the first time in history.

Mamelodi Sundowns are through to the last four after a goalless draw against Espérance on Tuesday and winning the tie 1-0 on aggregate.

The Brazilians were full value for their money with a gritty display in Tunis, and they’ll meet Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly in the semifinals slated for late April.

The spotlight falls on Orlando Pirates on Wednesday when they welcome Algerian side, MC Alger, to Orlando Stadium.

The Buccaneers have one foot in the semis after a 1-0 victory in the away clash played in Algeria.

Should Pirates go through, they’ll take on Egyptian club Pyramids in the semis.

The big question is, would it be an all-South African or Egyptian final?
