The defeat, the 14th loss of a nightmarish season, and now the Lubombo-based side have been sucked into the relegation cesspit as they are only five points away from the drop zone having played a game more than second-from-the-bottom Tambankulu Callies.
Interestingly, Tambuti FC will face the relegation-fighting Callies at Tambankulu Stadium in one of the last three remaining games. Watched by a poor crowd of fewer than 30 people, Sundowns took the lead when maverick winger Mike Dombo finished off after his earlier header from a Vuyilwethu Makhubu corner kick was parried away by Tambuti FC goalkeeper, Phila Mamba.
