The Glamour Boys could not add to their tally as the first half ended 1-0 in their favour.
Very early in the second half, three minutes after the restart, Kaizer Chiefs were reduced to 10 men as Reeve Frosler received his second yellow card of the game.
Despite being a man down, Amakhosi doubled their lead in the 68th minute. Du Preez, after a sublime pass from Maart, put the ball past Otieno.
Maart was close to getting on the scoresheet after an excellent play from him and Du Preez, but the Glamour Boys captain failed to hit the back of the net.
The Natal Rich Boyz had a good chance in the 85th minute, but Brandon Petersen made a fantastic save to keep his clean sheet intact.
In the added time, Richards Bay were back in the game after Yanela Mbuthuma headed the ball past Petersen.
Justice Figareido had a chance to level the scoreline, but his effort in the closing stages of the stages was way off the target.
