Chiefs could not win back-to-back games for only the second time this season after they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Royal AM last weekend.
Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Duba gave Amakhosi a two-goal lead heading to the break but Ayabulela Maxwele pulled a goal back Thwihli Thwahla early in the second stanza and Levy Mashiane snatched the equaliser in the last minute.
Nasreddine Nabi's charges have since dropped down to ninth on the table with 11 points.
The Glamour Boys will be without Reeve Frosler, who will be serving his second match suspension after he was red-carded against Richards Bay.
City, meanwhile, extended their winless run to three matches after they rescued a 1-1 draw against TS Galaxy last weekend.
Dzenan Zajmovic broke the deadlock for Galaxy on the stroke of half-time but Sibusiso Tshabalala salvaged a share of the spoils for Rise and Shine in the dying minutes.
Phuti Mohafe's men are placed fifth on the standings with 14 points.
