Royal's incredible eight-match unbeaten run was ended by Sekhukhune United but Thwihli Thwahla bounced back with a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch last weekend.
John Maduka's charges moved up to third on the log as a result, just one point behind second-placed Kaizer Chiefs, whose scheduled fixture against Cape Town City is at risk of not going ahead due to a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.
Usuthu, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run to five matches after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Maritzburg United last weekend, although they have only won once in that period.
Benni McCarthy's troops remain in eighth place on the log and could leapfrog both Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United into to sixth if they collect maximum points.
