Truter lauded the work of Zwane and the young talent at Chiefs, including George Matlou, Kamohelo Mahlatsi, Kgaogelo Sekgota and Sifiso Hlanti.
He believes that if Chiefs are patient, they can close the gap between Mamelodi Sundowns and the rest of the teams in the league.
Sekhukhune United’s victory saw them move into 10th position on the DStv Premiership standings, while Chiefs missed out on an opportunity to go above SuperSport United in second place.
