Betway Premiership summary: Kaizer Chiefs claim consecutive triumphs as AmaZulu and Stellenbosch secure victories too
Victories were also achieved by AmaZulu and Stellenbosch, the latter advancing to the upper section of the standings.
Below are key highlights from the matches.
Duba finds the net
Kaizer Chiefs struggled initially until they took the lead after 32 minutes thanks to Wandile Dubas first strike since April 2025.
The young 21 year old seized the ball on the right side, displayed impressive pace to outrun his marker, and chipped it over Magesi custodian Elvis Chipezeze. This elegant effort raises questions about his year long scoring drought.
An unusual statistic about him: In all seven league matches he has begun this term, Chiefs have kept clean sheets, with most occurring at home.
Though as a forward he contributes little directly to defence, it might relate to the teams formation when he features from the start.
Vilakazi scores his first
Kaizer Chiefs added their second on 84 minutes to seal the result. It was untidy, yet effective.
Mfundo Vilakazi failed to trap an incoming cross, then slipped on the rebound, but eventually powered a shot home on his third effort.
This marked his initial goal since facing Orbit College in November, and just his third in league play overall.
The success elevates Chiefs to fourth in the rankings, a single point from CAF Confederation Cup spots, holding two fixtures spare.
Another shutout boosted their league tally to 13 this season.
Understanding the regulations
An uncommon event unfolded in the opening period, highlighting how little grasp players have of the games lesser known laws.
Kaizer Chiefs keeper Bruce Bvuma caught a shot and held the ball. He released it to the turf, nudged it a few times, then grasped it once more, an action prohibited by the rules.
Official Cedrick Muvhali promptly awarded an indirect free kick, the right call. Surprisingly, no Magesi side raised objections, and Bvuma along with his teammates appeared shocked.
Evidently, only the match official recognised the violation. Magesi squandered the opportunity from inside the penalty area.
AmaZulu rise to third
AmaZulu rose to third position after a narrow 1 0 success against Polokwane City, marking successive league triumphs and maintaining their push for Confederation Cup eligibility.
The lone strike arrived at 87 minutes from Thapelo Matlhoko, returning after November.
He anticipated the Polokwane shot stopper Lindokuhle Mathebula to nod in from near post following Riaan Hanamubs delivery. The experienced 32 year old, with merely 45 career starts, ought to have advanced to claim the cross.
It represented Matlhokos debut goal for Usuthu after joining from Kruger United earlier in the season.
Mabasa nets twice
Stellenbosch FC entered the top six via a 2 1 victory at home versus Chippa United, worsening the opponents position near the foot of the table.
Tshegofatso Mabasa claimed both Stellenbosch efforts with headed finishes, raising his count to three in three league outings for the Winelands outfit since his January loan from Orlando Pirates.
Prior to this spell, opportunities were scarce for him, yet a solid end to the campaign could guarantee MTN8 entry next year for Stellies.
Sinoxolo Kwayiba converted a tardy spot kick for Chippa, his fourth in seven appearances since rejoining from Pirates, where he shared the pitch with Mabasa in the seasons first portion.
Chippa sit merely two points clear of relegation danger, yet have completed two extra matches.
