The first leg will take place in Pretoria on April 1, while the second leg is set for the 8th of the same month in the Tunisian capital.
The international break comes at the perfect time for the oldest Tunisian club, which has just changed coaches, with Maher Kanzari taking over from Romanian Laurențiu Reghecampf.
The red and yellow club is in the process of recovering its injured players, namely Algerian defender Mohamed Amine Tougai, Togolese defensive midfielder Roger Aholou, Brazilian forward Rodrigo Rodrigues, and their Tunisian striker Achraf Jabri.
All these players are expected to be fit for the two matches against Mamelodi Sundowns.
What about Meriah?
Captain Yassine Meriah, however, will need more time to get back on the field as he suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in his knee last November.
