In addition, Sundowns’ fixture against Galaxy, which had been postponed due to the club being involved in a deadly car accident, has been rescheduled to 29 April, while the reverse fixture also got a new date and will now be played on 28 May.
Sundowns have gone 13 points ahead of second-placed Stellenbosch FC, meaning they need two more wins to be crowned champions for a seventh successive season.
Meanwhile Chiefs have struggled to find the right balance since the beginning of the season, and they find themselves sitting eighth on the league table, seven points behind third-placed Orlando Pirates.
Fullview understands that Cavin Johnson will finish the current season as interim coach before returning to his original role ahead of the 2024/25 season.
