Soweto Derby Meets High-Octane Drifting: The CSA Summer Spin-Off Hits Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom is about to get a whole lot louder this weekend. On Saturday, February 28, 2026, the CSA Showgrounds will play host to a unique fusion of South African culture: the CSA Summer Spin-Off.

It’s a day designed for those who live for the roar of an engine and the thrill of the pitch, combining the adrenaline of professional spinning with the high-stakes drama of the Soweto Derby.

The Main Event: Pirates vs. Chiefs

While the tires smoke outside, the focus shifts to the big screen at 15h00. The legendary rivalry between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will be broadcast via a live screening, allowing fans to soak up the stadium atmosphere right from the heart of the showgrounds.

Whether you’re backing the Buccaneers or the Amakhosi, the event promises a massive fan zone experience that captures the "Soweto Derby" energy in the North West.
