The Rockets will be looking to get off to a good start after they finished four points above the relegation zone. As a result, a 13th-placed finish was enough for the club to reward head coach Sead Ramovic with a contract extension until 2025.
The Mpumalanga based side have made only two signings, Sibusiso Vilakazi from Mamelodi Sundowns and Xola Mlambo, although Mlambo will not be available against his former side due to suspension.
Gallants vacated their regular home ground, Mbombela Stadium to allow a rugby match to take place between South Africa and New Zealand on Saturday.
Usuthu, meanwhile, will be hoping their seventh place finish last season will put then in good stead after coach Brandon Truter replaced Benni McCarthy towards the end of the campaign.
The KwaZulu-Natal outfit have had a huge turnover of players in the transfer market, as they parted ways with 15 players and bought at least ten new players.
Notable new signings include Gabadinho Mhango from Orlando Pirates, Dumisani Zuma formerly with Kaizer Chiefs , George Maluleka from Mamelodi Sundowns, Rally Bwalya and two players from TS Galaxy, Augustine Kwem and Ethan Brooks.
