The result at Loftus Versfeld means the defending Premiership champions are now just three points clear of rivals Orlando Pirates who have a game in hand.
The Buccaneers also have a superior goal difference with three relatively easy fixtures remaining — against Magesi F.C, Durban City and Orbit College.
