Life support from top two

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are the heartbeat of South African soccer - just as Simba FC and Yanga are the lifeblood of Tanzanian soccer, not forgetting the significance of Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards in Kenya. Of course, the two Soweto clubs have done a lot to elevate local soccer. Some argue that the two have sacrificed blood and sweat to take South African football to a level at which it is now the most commercially successful on the continent.
