The biggest match on the South African soccer calendar was a cagey and drab affair, but Kaizer Chiefs’ 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates on Saturday marks their fifth victory in a row over their in-form Soweto neighbour.
Victory for Kaizer Chiefs against Orlando Pirates on Saturday, 25 February, eased pressure on the former team’s coach, Arthur Zwane, keeping Amakhosi in the hunt for second spot on the Premiership table.

There have been calls from sections of Chiefs’ fanbase for the former Amakhosi and Bafana Bafana midfielder to vacate his seat. These murmurs had amplified in recent weeks, with the Glamour Boys claiming just one win from their five league matches preceding the derby.
Zwane still believes he is the right man for the job, and that eventually the seeds he is planting and tending to will reap the desired fruit. Zwane downplayed Chiefs’ impressive streak over their nemesis, saying it was just another fixture that they aimed to do well in, which was the target in every match they played.
