Tottenham have announced that they are set tour South Africa during pre-season and will play games against Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

The Soweto-based club will first play Spurs on July 16, with the Pirates taking on Harry Redknapp’s men three days later.

The winner of a derby game between the Chiefs and the Pirates will then face the Champions League quarter-finalists again.

Skipper Michael Dawson said on the club’s official website: “Pre-season is an important time and preparation is key in order to start the season well.

“The Vodacom Challenge will be a good test for us. We have a strong relationship with South Africa and there is a real passion for football in the country.”
