Kaizer Chiefs' winless run extends after frustration from Sekhukhune United as Mamelodi Sundowns close in on Orlando Pirates
Amakhosi's bid to defend their title received another setback after they dropped points as their rivals, including Bucs, keep winning. Masandawana, on the other hand, were impressive as they outsmarted Usuthu to go just behind the Sea Robbers.
Kaizer Chiefs' winless run in the Diski Challenge has extended to four games after a 1-1 draw against Sekhukhune United on Sunday.
The defending champions took the lead in the 27th minute when Shaun Els scored, but they were denied a win after Babina Noko equalised through Ntokozo Msimango two minutes after the hour mark.
