Hunt has been enduring a difficult time as Chiefs coach as he struggles to address his team’s weaknesses.
Week in, week out, the coach complains about his side’s poor finishing or defensive frailties, and emphasises the need to correct them.
However, there seems to be little hope to get it right for Chiefs as they continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
Now much talk on Chiefs is about the imminent return of striker Samir Nurkovic from injury, and there are high expectations that the Serb’s comeback would solve Amakhosi’s woes in front of goal.

Kaizer Chiefs were held to a goalless draw against CD Primeiro de Agosto in the CAF Champions League second round first-leg on Wednesday evening.
Leonardo Castro started on the bench for the first time this season as coach Gavin Hunt handed starts to Philani Zulu, Willard Katsande and Lazarous Kambole.
Khama Billiat caused the visitors a lot of problems with his off-the-ball movement and runs in behind the defensive stall following the opening exchanges of the match.
Chiefs secured the lead midway through the first half after Billiat ran onto a solid supply before bustling the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt says his side have to eradicate the errors after their 2-1 loss to SuperSport United on Tuesday evening.
Chiefs captain and goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune made another error to gift SuperSport the lead on the stroke of half-time after Chiefs had squandered a host of gilt-edged opportunities in the opening period.
And to make matters worse, Philani Zulu was shown a straight red card for his studs up tackle from behind on Ghampani Lungu.
And when asked what was most disappointing for him, Hunt told SuperSport TV: That we didn t win. We deserved to win. I thought we had so many chances, it was no problems. And then what we ve had crept in and they re one nil up at half-time. When we could have been three or four to the good in the first half.
