A 2-0 home win vs Sekhukhune United proved a false dawn as they lost 1-0 at home to Polokwane. A 3-2 home defeat vs Golden Arrows and a come-from-behind 2-2 draw at Kaizer Chiefs followed.
After losing 2-1 at AmaZulu, they were beaten 3-1 at home by TS Galaxy. Their last match was four weeks ago as their players refused to train over unpaid salaries.
