Kaizer Chiefs can secure MTN8 football with three points on the final day of this Betway Premiership season.
Amakhosi snatched a priceless point against Babina Noko
Despite going behind early in the contest, Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs secured what might prove to be a massive point away to Sekhukhune in a 1-1 draw thanks to Glody Lilepo’s equaliser deep into first-half stoppage time. It means the Glamour Boys can guarantee an MTN8 place with a win on the final day at home against Polokwane City. However, Polokwane sit two points above Chiefs, although their MTN8 place is already sealed. Chiefs vs Polokwane kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday, 24 May.
Amakhosi fans will hope that Rise and Shine take their foot off the gas.

Has McCarthy just provided an internal solution to a big problem?
Via KickOff, Chiefs have invited Mhleli Mabuza to train with the senior side. The 24-year-old right-back most recently plied his trade with Louletano DC in Portugal’s fourth tier. Mabuza is a free agent now after not renewing terms with them. Richards Bay’s Lwandile Mabuya is also on Chiefs’ shopping list, although it might be difficult to pull off a deal. 21-year-old Aden McCarthy, who’s versatile enough to play anywhere across the back four, made a solid Betway Premiership debut in the 1-1 draw at Sekhukhune.
