Here's how the readers reacted to the draw on the "BREAKING! Nedbank Cup Last 16 Fixtures Revealed" story...
"This is good for us Dawanas (Sundowns), we do not need to play lower league teams because the trophy is not for lower league teams, therefore it is useless for us to wish for small teams. Let those who are only happy to advance to the next round knowing very well they are just accompanying Downs or Bucs," says Cutter.
"Im disappointed in Khoza, this draw is laughable. How long will soccer bosses manipulate draws or think we won't catch up with their tricks and dark arts? Its a casino system, the house always wins, we see it used by lotto, Champs League in Europe and also in Africa at group stages.
"Its no coincidence that Sundowns met Richards Bay that was second on the log and now they face Gallants, who were finalist last year, and away. While the Soweto cheats get lower division teams and at home too. Very pathetic.
"Anyway, Sundowns will win regardless , this opponent will sharpen us," says SkyKBY.
"The more desperate Chiefs is, the more silverware eludes the club, it's a tough one for Zwane," says toni.siyabulela11.
"Hope the Chiefs players will take this team (Casric Stars) seriously," says khosilannete0.
"More shocking results are coming in this Nedbank cup, watch this space," says @ThizaK.
"Good draw for Pirates and Chiefs.... But I wouldn't be surprised if one of them loses," says mtshox18.

"Injuries hampered him. He's not a bad player, never was," Sibali4Dawana.
"He committed career suicide the day he joined the ANC (meaning Kaizer Chiefs)," says Saavedra.
"He doesn't deserve to play for any PSL club. Ever since he came to Naturena, his performances dropped immensely. I no longer need him in our Khosi nation," says silungilemyeki017.
"Him and others thought they could resuscitate Chiefs and in that process, he compromised his career. He's not a bad player, never was," says Shikabala.
