Kaizer Chiefs return to winning ways

Amakhosi defeated Durban City 1-0 at FNB Stadium on Sunday to end a three-match losing streak in the Betway Premiership since losing to Stellenbosch last month.

The victory keeps Chiefs in the hunt for a successive CAF Confederation Cup spot for next season and perhaps is the turning point the team needed to push them until the end of season.

Orlando Pirates drop valuable points

Orlando Pirates were held 1-1 by Siwelele FC on Saturday afternoon in their league clash to deny Bucs a chance to maintain a three-point lead over second placed Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Buccaneers will be hoping Downs do not collect maximum points in their game in hand against Marumo Gallants on Tuesday, as that result would see them move two points clear of AmaBhakaniya.

AmaZulu keep fighting for top four spot

Usuthu recorded a 2-1 victory in their KwaZulu-Natal derby against Richards Bay at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday to see them temporarily move back into fourth spot on the Betway Premiership table.

Arthur Zwane's side had failed to collect maximum points since the end of January, seeing them slip slightly on the standings while also exiting the Nedbank Cup to lower division side Casric Stars.

The Durban based side will need to win a majority of the nine matches left in the season to ensure the finish in the desired top four positions

Magesi running out of time to avoid the drop

Magesi fought hard to claim a late 2-2 draw at the Seshego Stadium against the in-form Chippa United on Saturday.

However, Dikwena remain rooted at the bottom of the log, four points behind Orbit College [15th] and Marumo Gallants [14th] and will have to start winning games if they want to avoid automatic relegation or playoffs.

Mamelodi Sundowns squad depth makes the difference

Masandawana are the only South African side still competing in continental competitions this season and have now won seven consecutive league matches to keep the pressure on top of the table Pirates.

The Tshwane giants have shown that they have enough quality and depth in all positions, with Miguel Cardoso having the luxury of using the likes of Iqraam Rayners from the bench, who has shone in the super sub role.
