Ernst Middendorp’s Kaizer Chiefs lost the title to Sundowns on the final day of the 2019/20 season but since then it has been total carnage.

13 points, 16 points, 16 points, 23 points, 12 points — these are the margins by which Sundowns have won their last five titles. Masandawana’s brilliance has to be commended, even if it has come on the back of huge investment.
