Wits, who have a better record on the road than at their own stadium, looked more like the home team as they dominated the first half exchanges with Chippa sitting back and hoping for chances on the counterattack.
A break away soon after for Thabo Rakhale ended with a weak shot that Ricardo Goss, again preferred to Darren Keet in the Wits’ goal, had no trouble dealing with. Two freekicks after half-time offered Chippa a chance to take the lead but instead of the rockets seen earlier this season from Rhulani Manzini, it was Andile Mbenyane who took two quick kicks and wasted them both.
Changes on either side offered an opportunity to liven up the game, with substitute Hashim Domingo going close before the deadlock was finally broken.
