Champions

The ABC Foundation ran an open draw before every round, so clubs were re-drawn at each stage rather than following a fixed path. This bracket is laid out backwards from the final, so every line traces the route a club actually took. Prize money: R60 000 to the winners, R25 000 runners-up, R10 000 third, R8 000 fourth, R2 000 each for fifth to eighth.
