Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has made a promise to the club's supporters after their narrow 1-0 defeat to Sekhukhune United.
Sekhukhune spoiled Chiefs' birthday party on Saturday, as the Glamour Boys missed the opportunity to get closer to leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on the standings.
Amakhosi went to the game against Babina Noko on a back of two consecutive victories in the league and a third straight win would have taken them at least up to third on the table.

Zwane's charges, lying fourth on the log, could have also went to second place had they won by three goals or more against the Limpopo side.
'Mangethe' says he is aware of the missed opportunity to climb up the ladder and promised that they won't miss such an opportunity again in the near future.
"Football is a funny game. We saw the opportunity tonight (Saturday) and said, "Guys, most of the teams in the chasing pack if you check they lost"," Zwane told the media in a press conference.
"And it was an opportunity for us to climb the ladder but it wasn't to be for the second time now and I don't think it's gonna happen for the third time.
"You know I remember there was a time against Chippa (United) we had the opportunity to be in position one, it did not happen and this time again," he said.
The Amakhosi legend took comfort and confidence from their performance against Brandon Truter's men which gives him hope going forward.

"We had the opportunity to be in position two and it did not happen, so obviously it will happen in the right time. For the fact that we're not bad in terms of our performance," he carried on.
"The performance, when you look at how the boys exerted themselves (against Sekhukhune), I'm a proud coach, I'm proud to work with them and we're on the right track," he added.
Chiefs fell 13 points behind leaders Sundowns half-way through the season.
