Here is the FINAL Betway Premiership log for the 2024/25 season
The 2024/25 Betway Premiership season is officially in the books after the final clash of the season was completed on Thursday.
The final fixture – between SuperSport United and Golden Arrows – had been abandoned at half-time back in February due to load shedding with the score deadlocked at 1-1.
The match was completed at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Thursday with only the 45 minutes of the second half played.
The final scoreline read 1-1 and saw Matsatsantsa rise to 14th place in the log, thus avoiding the promotion-relegation playoffs.
They leapfrogged Cape Town City FC, pushing the Citizens into a fight for their top-flight survival.
Mamelodi Sundowns became the first team to win the Betway Premiership under the Betway sponsorship.
It was an eighth consecutive PSL title – and a 15th overall since the PSL era kicked off in thee 1996/97 season – for the Tshwane giants.
The PSL entered into a new three-year partnership with Betway in the beginning of the 2024/25 season, replacing DStv and MultiChoice, with the new deal reportedly worth up to R900 million .
Orlando Pirates finished second, eight points behind Masandawana, but a full 13 points ahead of third-placed Stellenbosch FC.
Joining those three sides in next season's MTN8 will be Sekhukhune United, TS Galaxy, AmaZulu, Polokwane City and Richards Bay.
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay
Orlando Pirates vs Polokwane City
Stellenbosch FC vs AmaZulu
Sekhukhune United vs TS Galaxy
For Kaizer Chiefs it was another season to forget.
The Glamour Boys could do no better than a ninth-place finish, a yawning 41 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns.
Amakhosi won eight of their 28 matches, lost 12 and drew eight for a points tally of just 32.
They finished just five points ahead of the bottom side in the standings.
Kaizer Chiefs scored only 25 goals in their 28 matches and conceded 32 – not the recipe for success.
Perhaps most embarrassing for Kaizer Chiefs was the fact they finished a record 29 points behind bitter rivals Orlando Pirates.

Kaizer Chiefs will leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of prolific attackers. Is this Europe-based Bafana star a target? Mihlali Mayambela plies his trade for Aris Limassol in Cyprus but is open to a return to South Africa. According to iDiski Times, 28-year-old wide attacker Mihlali Mayambela is open to a return to South Africa.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Three Pirates players linked, Mayele latest
Kaizer Chiefs are bizarrely linked with three Orlando Pirates players – Monnapule Saleng, Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane – one of which has entered the final stages with Nasreddine Nabi's side. According to SABC Sport, soon-to-be free agent Mako is currently the closest to inking a deal with AmaKhosi, while Monyane is another player the Buccaneers are releasing – he too is on Chiefs' radar. Meanwhile, Monnapule Saleng has reportedly (per SoccerLaduma) signed a pre-contract with the Glamour Boys; however, this has yet to be confirmed. Unfortunately for Kaizer Chiefs, Fiston Mayele's CAF Champions League performances have him on the top of several transfer lists, decreasing their likelihood of signing the Congolese star. 'Mayele's career with Pyramids FC will end at the end of the current season. The player will leave after the Zamalek and Pyramids match in the Egypt Cup final.' 'Mayele has received incredible offers, offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) and reaching $4 million (R74 million) per season. The player is receiving $1 million per season from Pyramids, but he completely refuses to continue.' 'Pyramids Club, in appreciation of the player and the fact that he is the top scorer in the African Champions League and was one of the reasons the team won the championship,' Egyptian publication Al-Masry Al-Youm revealed.
