They Magesi 3-1 at home to make it consecutive wins. Three defeats followed, starting with a 1-0 loss at Polokwane City and an 8-1 thrashing away at Orlando Pirates with seven second-half goals leaked.
A 1-0 away loss at Sekhukhune United was followed by a one-point haul. They ground out a 0-0 home draw with Richards Bay to stop the rot.
