Chippa chairman Siviwe Mpengesi said, "Today we were signing that agreement that was already passed by the council, now it's the formality to sign that agreement because we have our first game (in the BCM) this month if I'm not mistaken against AmaZulu (Chippa are scheduled to host AmaZulu on December 20). We'll have other games (there) and we are now going to play seven games as opposed to the five games that we were playing there before. Hopefully, we will play some games in Sisa Dukashe and some at Absa Stadium."
