If Chiefs lose in the upcoming Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns (who are in third position) will be looking at the game closely as the results will fall in their favour.
Orlando Pirates supporter Rangwane Makgabutlane says they are proud of the boys and coach for redeeming themselves.
“Our luck turned when we got rid of former coach Rhulani Mokoena and hired Joseph Zimbauer from Germany in December.
“Under Zimbauer’s leadership, we have played eight games, won six and equalised two, which is remarkable.”
