Magesi went to 55 points, giving them an unassailable eight point lead over second-placed University of Pretoria FC (47 points), who were held to a 2-2 draw away to 10th-placed Black Leopards at Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday.
Tuks, third-placed Baroka FC (45 points) and fourth-placed JDR Stars (45) are all still in firm contention for a second or third position finish to compete in the promotion relegation playoffs.
Fifth-placed Maritzburg United (42 points) and sixth-placed Casric Stars (41) are also mathematically in contention for the playoffs, but would need to win both their last two games and have other results go their way.
