It was a return to winning ways for the Soweto Giants who were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw by Richards Bay last time out.
The win also extended their unbeaten streak in the league to eight matches, going two points clear at the top of the log, with 58 points.
Pirates broke the deadlock with just 14 minutes played as Tshepang Moremi set up located Yanela Mbuthuma who headed home from inside the box.
Late in the first half, Appollis popped up on the left before coming in on the right for a well-placed to make it 2-0.
In-form Relebohile Mofokeng made it 3-0 in the 58th minute with a first-time audacious shot from a long way out.
Appollis walked away with the man of the match accolade, his fourth in the league, after raking up his eighth goal of the season with six assists.
The Bafana Bafana international was in joyous mood as they prepare to take on Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday, 26 April, at FNB Stadium.
“Overall, the team fought today [Saturday]. We’re very happy with the three points and the three goals,” he told OP TV.
“We wanted to get more goals but it wasn’t meant to be.
“But, like I said, we’re happy with the team’s performance and the three goals and the three points.
“We’ll keep on pushing and like the boys said in the dressing room, we’ll keep pushing game by game and we will continue next week.”
