Orlando Pirates DStv Diski Challenge head coach Joseph Makhanya has made admission that bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs deserve the league title after a great season.
Pirates dropped two points this past weekend after a pulsating 2-2 draw with Cape Town City this past weekend with ‘Duku Duku’ also throwing in the towel on their own title aspirations as they currently sit in fifth place with 44 points, 11 points behind league leaders Chiefs.

With three games remaining, which is nine points to play for, Pirates are mathematically out of the title race and the Buccaneers legend has admitted that Amakhosi has been more consistent this season and they deserve to win the DDC title while adding that Stellies has had some difficult times especially after Pirates beat them twice.
“I would like to believe this is a title decider, whoever that wins here [between Chiefs & Stellies] stands a better chance, ” Makhanya told the media.
“Chiefs throughout the season they showed better quality, they were consistent. Stellies we played them twice, we beat them twice, so I would like to believe they [Chiefs] have quality throughout the season, but Stellies have that quality to finish off better, it’s a tight one.
“I would like to believe even after this match its about consistency and continuity.”
