CAPE TOWN – Sekhukhune United have returned to the summit of the Betway Premiership standings after securing an important victory against Kaizer Chiefs in the top of the table clash on Tuesday night.

The league action continues on Wednesday, with the defending champions traveling to face Marumo Gallants, AmaZulu hosting Stellenbosch FC, Polokwane City taking on Golden Arrows, and Richards Bay locking horns with TS Galaxy.
