The lone home victory occurred on Sunday afternoon, with Real Kings defeating Mthatha Bucks 1-0 at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban. The goal that earned Kings the three points came via Philip Mokoena in the 49^th minute. Real Kings moved to the 10^th spot on the log, following the result.

Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) shared the glory with Uthongathi FC, following their goalless draw at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban. The draw was as good as victory for TTM as history shows that Uthongathi are not easy to beat in their own backyard.
