A week later, they host the tricky Polokwane City in Tshwane before going to battle head coach Adnan Beganovic's attacking TS Galaxy side in Mpumalanga the following week.
The PSL newcomers will end the month of August with a clash against an unpredictable Richards Bay, who won the KZN Premier's Cup during the off-season.
Following the successful acquisition of SuperSport United's PSL status, club chairman Calvin Le'John appointed Lehlohonolo Seema as the head coach.
The team has announced the signings of veteran defender Buhle Mkhwanazi as a free agent, defender Relebogile Mokhuoane from Sekhukhune United, midfielder Thabo Makhele from Chippa United and striker Wayde Lekay who joins from Indian side Churchill Brothers FC.
Siwelele have retained the majority of the SuperSport United squad that narrowly survived relegation last season and will look to infuse them with new players as quickly as possible.
"We don't want to see ourselves in the relegation dogfight," said coach Seema in an interview with Robert Marawa on MSW.
"Those were the exact words of the chairman (Calvin Le John). What happened last season in the league with SuperSport United must not happen.
"That is the first mandate. People have been asking about my mandate, so the mandate is to make sure that even after next season, Siwelele are still in the league. We're here to stay."
