Mamelodi Sundowns will be donating R50,000 to breast cancer research, after beating Black Leopards 5-1 on Sunday.
Ahead of the match Brian Baloyi told KickOff.com that the club would donate R10,000 per goal they scored, in honour of October being breast cancer awareness month.
Nyasha Mushekwi and Katlego Mphela got a brace each, and Richard Henyekane added a fifth, to make up Downs' impressive scoreline.
Khetowakhe Masuku got the only goal for Leopards.
Lidoda Duvha, who conceded four goals in the final half hour of the match, will look back on some missed opportunities early in the second half.
The result sees Sundowns move back to within three points of leaders SuperSport United, while Leopards remain second from bottom, two points ahead of Jomo Cosmos.
The first half was a subdued affair until Downs broke the deadlock three minutes into added time, with Mushekwi chipping the ball over the advancing Posnett Omony after sprinting onto a great through ball.
Leopards had chances to equalise in the early stages of the second half – Mongezi Bobe and Rodney Ramagalela both spurned good chances that originated out on the flanks.
Mushekwi doubled Sundowns' advantage on 63 minutes, beating Simphiwe Vezi to Teko Modise's corner kick and scoring with a good header.
The Zimbabwean was replaced by Mphela soon afterwards, and 'Killer' immediately made it 3-0, cracking home a right footed shot.
Leopards scored a consolation goal on 85 minutes, with Masuku's brilliant direct free kick, but further strikes from Richard Henyekane and Mphela in the 87th and 91st minutes meant his effort was all but forgotten.

We can go far, but on that there is still more work to be done,
Especially in ur midfield that's wher I think Neeskens nids to be worked on
MorrI and Kekana @ times are found wanting, with the better and much quicker
Opponents, we wll be exposed, as for Khenyeza I rest my case,Neeskens when Richard
Is fully fit plz start with him, as for Mr sushi Its better if he start from the
Bench he'll see that we can do much without him.
The matter of suppoters nids to be adressed, I thought by moving away from Master peaces, was about to commodate more spataters by its bin a shamfull
1 game @ the time
THE SKY
KA BOYELLOW
The average Pirates attendance for last season was 3000, boy are u drunk.... How is dat possible we played you twice there and there was 25000 fans there.... But i think you are in denial downs doesnt have supporters period we dont care if it was because of choice or what...
The lowest attendance at Orlando last season was arround 5000 which is 25 percent of the stadium BBK"s words on Soccer Zone.... By the way the big majority of european supporters were born into the teams they support so dont come here with that stupid mentality of choice..... Football 101 was mastered at the University of Orlando.
Teko Modise is just the best.
"The sky will always be the limit"
you are happy winning by 1-0,2-1,0-0 with so called "small Teams"
if you were a player i am sure u wuld nt have made it even to Amateu,,,anyway welldone for scoring these goals and support cancer projects....
