Chippa reduced the deficit three minutes later, as Rhulani Manzini pounced on an error from the Baroka goalkeeper and tapped into an empty net.
The hosts pushed for an equaliser but were wasteful in the 76th minute, as Lerato Chabangu blasted over the crossbar from close range.
Chippa substitute Dylan Goss nearly scored with his first touch in the 84th minute but his header was superbly turned away by Mothwa.
