Mamelodi Sundowns drew 0-0 for the second time in a space of a week when they were held by Swallows FC at Dobsonville Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Sundowns had also played to a goalless draw against Cape Town City on Tuesday.
Before drawing against City, Sundowns had score in 21 matches in a row.
The two draws come after Downs were already crowned champions with seven games to spare.
Rulani Mokwena on the two draws:
"Very proud of the efforts of the players, the spirit of the squad, the recovering of the players is so nice to see Nasir, Zungu, Gaston, after such a long time on the pitch, AB, Tapelo also," said Mokwena as quoted by iDiski Times.

"So we have to play these games and try to make sure the squad is close to each other, so very proud of the players – gallant effort from the opposition."
On his team's performance against Swallows:
"These games are very difficult, football you need a lot of conditions to have intensity, you have an opponent that’s an aggressor, and today we played against an opponent that is sitting and holding on to a point at home, you need a good pitch – so that the ball moves a little but and the pitch was dry and bumpy," Mokwena said.

"So we were responsible for the tempo and I think we did all that we could, we had so many chances, final third entries, I think we won a lot of duels, and this game was about long balls and second balls.
"We won almost all the duels with aggression, so there will never be a game I will be in charge of at Sundowns where we have no aggression, believe me, no chance."
