Themba Zwane and Rhulani Mokwena celebrate at the Loftus Stadium on Tuesday. Even before Sundowns' game against Cape Town City kicked off, they had already wrapped up the DStv Premiership title. Picture: Lefty Shivambu/Gallo Images.
Mamelodi Sundowns wrapped up a sixth consecutive DStv Premiership title last weekend without even playing a match, as SuperSport’s draw with Chippa United meant no one can catch them at the top of the table.
Masandawana’s dominance of the domestic game shows no sign of slowing down, with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates well and truly in the battle for second place this season, but also well and truly nowhere near the fight for first.

In fact, there is no fight for first, it is simply a procession and in this week’s Ballz to the Wall podcast, Phakaaathi editor Jonty Mark, along with football writers Sibongiseni Gumbi and Tshepo Ntsoelengoe, discuss whether there is any sign that anyone will ever pose a serious challenge to the Tshwane giants.
We also look at that battle for second place, with Pirates, Chiefs and SuperSport all tied on 40 points with six games to go in the season.
And we look at the relegation battle, where so many teams could still end up dragged into a dogfight at the bottom of the table. Why are Marumo Gallants so good in the Caf Confederation Cup and so bad in their domestic league?
Could Richards Bay go from shock title challengers to relegation?
