Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye has confidently predicted that Mamelodi Sundowns will emerge as champions of this season’s Betway Premiership, finishing a solid 10 points ahead of their rivals. Despite Orlando Pirates currently leading the league with a perfect record, Khanye believes Sundowns’ strength and experience will see them through to the title. He pointed out that while Pirates have been impressive so far, maintaining an unbeaten streak is difficult over the course of a long season, and Sundowns’ depth and quality will ultimately give them the edge.
Khanye acknowledged the strong start made by Orlando Pirates, who have shown consistency and solid performances in their opening matches. However, he emphasized that Sundowns’ proven ability to perform in crucial moments and their depth of talent will make a difference as the season progresses. With players like Peter Shalulile, Themba Zwane, and Denis Onyango leading the way, Khanye is confident that Sundowns have what it takes to dominate the league.
While many fans and analysts are focused on Pirates’ early success, Khanye’s assessment of Sundowns is one of experience and long-term consistency. He pointed out that Sundowns’ dominance over the past few seasons, coupled with their strong squad and tactical discipline, will eventually see them pull ahead, making them clear favorites to secure the title by the end of the season.
