The Soweto giants have secured four victories accompanied by a draw to see themselves sitting second on the Betway Premiership log standings.

For a side that fell into a state of mediocrity when it comes to league matters last term, Nasreddine Nabi's men have gone about their on-field business in impressive fashion.
"The Motaung children did well this time around by signing quality players, but it ultimately depends on the consistency of the coaches," is the take of Rudolph 'Gardner' Seale, who wore the Amakhosi jersey in the glorious '90s.
"Last season, we were frustrated with Nabi's constant changes. Now that he has settled down, the results are starting to show.
"However, I am uncertain how long this will last. I don’t think we will win the league this season, but I’m confident we will secure at least one cup competition title. The league remains a challenging goal for us.
"We have come from a poor eight to 10 years, not just in terms of winning trophies but also in terms of our style of play. There was a lack of direction during that time," he went on.

Seale is well pleased with the strides being made, as the team prepares to face off against Sekhukhune United in their next match on 16 September at FNB Stadium on 16 September.
"The team is getting closer to the Kaizer Chiefs we all know and love. We now have quality players, which allows us to rotate our squad effectively."
