Reality hits between the eyes for Leopards

By the time you read this, Thohoyandou Black Leopards FC would have had the small matter of dealing with the formidable Orlando Pirates FC.

The match-up between the Absa Premiership log leaders, Orlando Pirates FC, and the Limpopo-based Black Leopards (12), was scheduled for midweek.

This forthcoming Saturday 13 April, Black Leopards FC play hosts to Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs FC (7).

Interestingly, Kaizer Chiefs FC is still licking its wounds after going down 1-0 against unfancied Limpopo campaigners, Baroka FC (14), while Thohoyandou Black Leopards FC also emerge from a
3-1 loss to homeboys Polokwane City (5).

The mainstream media is already hailing Polokwane City FC as the dark horses among the chasing pack for the coveted Absa Premiership title.

Polokwane City FC is away to sixth-placed Supersport United FC on Saturday, at Pretoria’s Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Pick of the weekend’s Absa Premiership fixtures has to be the showdown between Thohoyandou Black Leopards FC and Kaizer Chiefs FC, at the “slaughterhouse” Thohoyandou Stadium.
