Agony continues for Kaizer Chiefs, coach Johnson after another stinging defeat

The 2023/24 season has continued to go from bad to worse for Kaizer Chiefs and, on Sunday afternoon at the King Zwelithini Stadium, relegation-threatened Richards Bay ensured the Soweto giants left Durban with zero DStv Premiership points.

In a league fixture where opportunities seemed abundant for Amakhosi, the Natal Rich Boys exercised patience, aided by luck, as Vusumuzi Vilakazi's side clinched a crucial 1-0 victory by luring the visitors into their trap and striking at the opportune moment.

Amakhosi walked onto the field having dropped out of the top half of the standings – from eighth to 10th – after Chippa United, who beat the Soweto giants a fortnight ago, took the scalp of Gavin Hunt's SuperSport United to continue to climb the log into eighth on Saturday, while Golden Arrows' draw to Royal AM shifted Steve Komphela's outfit up to ninth.
