Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has hinted at one key area the clubs need to strengthen, to complete their promising attack.
Chiefs had a shaky start in the league and won two consecutive matches for the first time after beating Swallows on Wednesday.
Amakhosi's attack has improved since striker Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana was integrated into the attack, although the Burundian joined the likes of Ashley Du Preez in missing big chances against Swallows, despite finding the back of the net in that game.

Zwane says he's not worried about his strikers missing chances, as they are getting into good scoring positions and they show the determination to score goals.
"For the fact that both of them (Bimenyimana and Du Preez) were there, it shows a lot of eagerness and commitment to make sure that we score goals, unfortunately we could not find the target," Zwane told journalists in a post-match press conference."
'Mangethe' went on to add that they need to balance their attack by finding another winger on the right, to compliment and ease the load on Kgaogelo Sekgota.
"But it came again through Sekgota, now we need to balance our play obviously, going forward," he went on.
"We need another player that can take the responsibility off his (Sekgota) shoulders on the right, you understand what I'm saying. So when you look back, the style of Kaizer Chiefs, we used to dominate from the wingers," he said.
"You would have players who were very good one v one, they would skin you, bring on crosses, look for combinations, on the other side it was the same. When you look at Sekgota, that identity is coming back," he added.
Soccer Laduma looks at the attackers in the DStv Premiership who could fit in at Chiefs:
Junior Mendieta (Stellenbosch)
Chiefs have built a good relationship with Stellenbosch recently after they signed Ashley Du Preez and Zitha Kwinika from the Cape Winelands outfit. Mendieta has been a standout performer for Steve Barker's charges since he joined them from native Argentinian side Lanus. The skilful attacker has previously stated that he is open to a move to a bigger club, as he was linked with Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns last season.
Pule Mmodi (Golden Arrows)
Mmodi attracted interest from Chiefs already last season but as previously reported by the Siya crew, Amakhosi could not agree terms with his club Golden Arrows. Mmodi has continued his outstanding form for Arrows, as he scored in four consecutive matches for Abafana Bes'thende and subsequently received a call-up to Bafana Bafana.

Solly Khunyedi (Stellenbosch)
As reported in edition 1291 of Soccer Laduma, Stellies winger Khunyedi, has attracted interest from a club in Scotland. Chiefs could also register their interest in the 22-year old, after they also invited two former Stellies youngsters for trials in the off-season, as reported by the Siya crew.
Thato Makua (Swallows)
Chiefs have a strong relationship with Swallows when it comes to transfers, as the Birds signed Makua from Amakhosi in the off-season. The Glamour Boys re-signed development product Kwinika after he left the club for greener pastures and they could also monitor 'Mosquito', as the winger is affectionately known and bring him back, should he impress at Swallows. Makua was introduced at half-time in the Birds' loss against Chiefs on Wednesday.
After the midweek victory over Swallows, Chiefs will hope to continue the side's momentum when they take on Stellenbosch this weekend.
