The Soweto giants had a 2016/17 season that they would love to forget and focus on rectifying their mistakes as they head into the new campaign. Kaizer Chiefs stretched their silverware drought to two seasons, while Pirates dropped out of the top eight.
One supporter expressed his views on the Soweto giants, and said that the performances of these two high-profile clubs has been embarrassing.
"With both clubs going two seasons without any silverware, it has been embarrassing for clubs and SA football respectively. As for the fans, their voice was never heard as they suffered disgraceful defeats at the hands of so-called 'small clubs', if I can say.
"Is it the players? Is it the coaches? Is it management? One could also conclude the football 'gods' have turned their backs on the Soweto giants. Lady luck has desolated Soweto, while teams like Cape Town City finish ahead of them, Sundowns win CAF, SuperSport United win the Nedbank and, as for Pirates finishing outside the top eight, what a shame." – Sol37
