Kaizer Chiefs have won a trophy!
Kaizer Chiefs reserves are the 2024/25 DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) champions after their emphatic 3-0 win over Magesi at the Dobsonville stadium earned them an unassailable position at the top of the table, with one round of the league remaining.
Imaad Hendricks's 36th minute opener gave Amakhosi a 1-0 half-time lead, and further strikes from Nkosana Mbuthu in the 75th minute and Thulani Mabaso, nine minutes later, ensured the win that seals the title.
At the end of last weekend's matches, Kaizer Chiefs, on 62 points, held a one-point lead over Stellenbosch and had a game in hand over their only challengers in the race.
However, on Friday, 25 April the PSL Disciplinary Committee ruled that Chippa United had failed to honour their fixture against Kaizer Chiefs on 1 February, and awarded Amakhosi a 3-0 win.
That decision elevated Kaizer Chiefs to 64 points, extending their lead over Stellenbosch to four points going into the penultimate round on Saturday.
Amakhosi's victory together with Stellenbosch's 3-0 loss to Marumo Gallants, leaves an even wider gap of six points between the two, with only three points left to play for in next weekend's final round of fixtures.
The newly-crowned champions conclude the campaign with an away fixture against AmaZulu next Saturday, 3 May.

Kaizer Chiefs are interested in bringing back this former Amakhosi player. Kaizer Chiefs are not holding back with their plans to sign players. In fact, Amakhosi are even trying to lure back a former player to Naturena. Ex-Chiefs player, Lebohang Lesako is on Chiefs' radar. 'Some Chiefs scouts and recruiters have been following his progress. They know him already as he is their former player and they are happy on how he has progressed from where he was before to where he is this season. He has shown growth both as a player and as a person and that's what makes them happy with his progress. They are believed to have enquired about him as they have shown interest in him,' the insider told SoccerLaduma. They believe he has matured as a player. So, Amakhosi scouts want to bring him back to Chiefs. However, Casric Stars are determined to hold onto him. At least, until the end of the season as they fight in the playoffs. 'They are believed to be respecting Castic Stars and are giving them space as they are still fighting in the playoffs. It's apparently believed that after the playoffs that's when things can open up. But the interest is there in Lebohang Lesako,' he added. Therefore, talks are set to resume for the ex-Chiefs star after the playoffs. Therefore, a total of NINE Chiefs player departures are on the cards. As mentioned, FIVE players have been released. Whilst, these FOUR Chiefs players are heading out of Naturena.
