Red-hot Kaizer Chiefs brings the heat in Durban to fire past AmaZulu after frosty KZN weekend

Kaizer Chiefs produced the type of heat in Durban that would have dramatically changed KwaZulu-Natal's ice-cold weekend had they been in the province when it was gripped by the cold that brought some parts of it to a stand-still. 

The second most populous province in South Africa had just recovered from the frozen weekend they endured, which resulted in parts of the N3 closed due to the blanket of ice that enveloped parts of KZN, when the red-hot Chiefs fired past AmaZulu to win 3-1 at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Wednesday night. 

Thousands of vehicles spent almost three days stuck in Van Reenen's Pass - a key artery that pumps people and goods between KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and the Free State. 

The wrath of Mother Nature that resulted in the death of two people had subsided when Chiefs visited Usuthu looking to prolong the warmth and positive energy that coach Nasreddine Nabi has brought to the club. 

All 35 000 tickets that were put up for sale were snapped up, with thousands of eager Amakhosi faithfuls looking to see first-hand the new dawn that Nabi has been tasked to bring.

Wednesday:

AmaZulu 1-3 Kaizer Chiefs

Stellenbosch FC 3-0 Cape Town City 

SuperSport United 1-0 TS Galaxy

Sekhukhune United 1-1 Chippa United

Golden Arrows 0-1 Magesi

Tuesday:

Orlando Pirates 3-0 Polokwane City 

Mamelodi Sundowns 4-0 Marumo Gallants 

Royal AM 0-0 Richards Bay

In less than half an hour, those who came on time had been given their monies' worth while those who arrived late missed one of the club's best spells in years. 

Chiefs were 3-0 up with seven minutes remaining before the clock hit the half-hour mark after suffocating AmaZulu.
