Mamelodi Sundowns are on top of the league and their game, and the previous champions are set to break another record. If they continue their winning streak, Masandawana might break Kaizer Chief's long-standing record of unbeaten games in the PSL.
However, fans from other teams could not conceal their jealousy and a debate sparked among football fans.
Sundowns set to break Kaizer Chiefs record
Mamelodi Sundowns have won their first five games of the season. They cemented their place at the top of the league after their 1-0 victory against Richards Bay.

Striker Junior Mendieta scored the match's only goal early in the game. Midfielder Lucas Ribiero delivered a brilliant through-ball past the defence in the 18-area. This was picked up by Mandieta, who slotted it in the right side of the post from the first touch, giving the Chloorkop team an early lead before 11 minutes. This made it Mendieta's first goal since joining the team.
If Sundowns continue their present form, they are set to topple Kaizer Chiefs' record of unbeaten games. Chiefs went unbeaten for 31 matches from January to November in 2005. Mamelodi Sundowns are currently on a 28-game winning streak.
Their last defeat was at the hands of Supersport United in September last year. Since then, the team has won each of their games. This also makes it their longest-ever unbeaten run in the PSL.
Debate ensues over Sundowns' winning streak
Twitter users had chest pains and were jealous over Sundowns' winning streak.
A discussion erupted between fans and those who believe that Sundowns is making the league uncompetitive.

“This league is washed.”
@MaggzBhuda added:
“That’s like the whole season unbeaten. Surreal.”
