Bucs beat Kaizer Chiefs 1-0, with Siyabonga Sangweni named Man of the Match after a sterling display in the heart of defence.
"We were rock solid. My defence held firm and kept Chiefs at bay. I actually had very little to do," Josephs tells KickOff.com.
"The one real save I made was from distance and credit to the defence," he adds.
Bucs' defence is seemingly continuing where they left off last season, and are probably even stronger now, after Sangweni was roped in at the start of the season.
During the club's 2010/11 awards function in June, Irvin Khoza gave the defence a special award for the achievement of conceding the fewest goals (23 League goals in 30 matches), alongside Chiefs and Bloemfontein Celtic, thus ensuring Pirates lost the fewest matches, four, on their way to winning the treble.
Josephs, Senzo Meyiwa, Rooi Mahamutsa, Ruben Cloete, Happy Jele and Lucky Lekgwathi shared R100,000. Bucs fans – do you think the defence should get the credit, as Moeneeb says? Have your say HERE!

chimps retards can replie, this question is aimed at them, they know their team.
Slim kat aka GARFIELD, u are motivating that defence mfana and i love your passion for our team, i so wish u could transfer it to other players.
U hate loosing and marshal your defence, they are not scared to even commit mistakes because they know u are a good cover and very reliable.
like SHAKIRA put it Slim kat is number 1 and Khune is just a favourite and overrated.
