Oswin Appollis among eight key players who could define their teams' search for MTN8 glory

The MTN8 returns on the weekend of August 8, offering a R10 million prize and a chance for eight teams to set the tone for the season. Orlando Pirates' Oswin Appollis is expected to lead his team in their bid to defend their title and extend their record to five consecutive MTN8 wins. Mamelodi Sundowns' Brayan León will be key as Sundowns aim to bounce back after a barren domestic run last season, where they lost the Betway Premiership title to Orlando Pirates.
