The Durban-based outfit are also the second-highest-scoring team in the league so far, with nine goals – just three less than Sundowns, who have scored 13 times having played a game more.
Last season, Vilakazi and co-head coach Mabhuti Khanyeza guided the team to a ninth-place finish in the league, the highest position occupied by a team based in KwaZulu-Natal.
