Golden Arrows secured a slender win at SuperSport United to move second on the DStv Premiership table on Wednesday evening.
Ronwen Williams missed out for the home side which saw George Chigova get a rare start between the sticks, while Bradley Grobler and Thamsanqa Gabuza were still out injured.
After a relatively quiet star, Chigova was called into action after 16 minutes to keep out Pule Mmodi's stinging effort at the near post.
It was Arrows who broke the deadlock on 22 minutes as Knox Mutizwa did well to beat his man before teeing up Nduduzo Sibiya, who calmly slotted into the far corner.
Kaitano Tembo's men looked bring themselves level, with Waiswa going close on 34 minutes with a powerful strike from distance that forced Sifiso Mlungwana into a fine save.
With the hosts struggling to break down Arrows, Tembo introduced a double change with Evans Rusike and Kudakwashe Mahachi replacing Waiswa and Onismor Bhasera on 54 minutes.
SuperSport threw bodies forward in search of an equaliser, with Iqraam Rayners slicing an effort wide on 74 minutes after some good work by Guily Manziba on the flank.
Unfortunately for the visitors, they were unable to find a way past the Arrows defence and now extended their winless run to seven matches in the league while Arrows move city rivals AmaZulu into second spot.
