Quick Look at Recent Results
Yesterday’s headline fixture saw Orlando Pirates beat Mamelodi Sundowns 2‑1 at the Kings Park Stadium. The win pushes Pirates up to third place, while Sundowns slide to fifth after a surprising dip in form. In another nail‑biter, Kaizer Chiefs edged AmaZulu 1‑0 thanks to a late header from their striker. Those three games reshuffled the top‑five and set the tone for the upcoming weekend.
If you missed any of the action, you can replay highlights on the official Betway Premiership YouTube channel or stream full matches via DStv’s SuperSport. Most local broadcasters also offer a free live feed on their websites, so you don’t need a pricey satellite package.
Standings Snapshot
As of this week, the table looks like this:
- 1. Mamelodi Sundowns – 27 points
- 2. Orlando Pirates – 25 points
- 3. Kaizer Chiefs – 24 points
- 4. Cape Town City – 22 points
- 5. AmaZulu – 20 points
Notice how tight the race is? A single win or loss can swing the top three dramatically, making every match feel like a title showdown.
Players to Watch
Keep an eye on Sundowns’ midfield engine, Themba Ndlovu. He’s racking up assists and looks ready for a move overseas. On the other side, Pirates’ young winger, Sipho Mthembu, has been delivering pace‑filled crosses that are turning into goal‑mouths for the club. And don’t forget Kaizer Chiefs' defensive rock, Thabo Mokoena, whose calm presence has helped the team keep clean sheets in three of their last five games.
These performers are also the ones most likely to appear on the weekly “Team of the Week” list that Betway releases every Friday.
