Orlando Pirates legend Jerry Sikhosana claims that Mamelodi Sundowns' dominance will continue if supporters are not allowed into stadiums.
Masandawana easily defended their league title last season and according to 'Legs of Thunder', not having supporters at stadiums did them a favour, with the huge fanbase of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
"To be honest, Mamelodi Sundowns doesn't have big fanbase compared to Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, so they will always have an advantage in playing without supporters," Sikhosana tells media in Durban.
"Even when I was playing, I always knew that I have to perform, because of supporters who motivate us, so it may be hard for the Soweto giants to do well without fans in stadiums because they are part of the team.
"I think with lockdown, it has made Chiefs and Pirates relax because there's no motivation nor pressure. If this lockdown continues, Mamelodi Sundowns will still dominate."
Sikhosana hopes that other teams will be able to surpass the defending champions during the new campaign.
"Dominance of one team in the league is never a good thing, I think we need other teams to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns."
