Usuthu, on the other hand, climbed up to the seventh spot in the standings after extending their unbeaten run to three matches.
Arthur Zwane and Vusumuzi Vilakazi's side will play host to Marumo Gallants on Friday.
Amakhosi started the match like a house on fire - applying constant pressure on the Usuthu defence.
The hosts deservedly took the lead when Reeve Frosler's cross was turned home by Ramahlwe Mphahlele who netted an own-goal to hand Chiefs a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute.
However, AmaZulu grew gradually into the match and they managed to level matters after some good work by Rowan Human in the 23rd minute.
The creative midfielder played a sublime pass for Tshepang Moremi who fired past on-rushing goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma and the score was 1-1 at the interval.
It's been one-way traffic at FNB Stadium so far 👀🔢

Another entertaining half followed as both teams attacked each other fearlessly which saw the visitors take the lead for the first time on the hour-mark.
Human's corner-kick was headed home by Elmo Kambindu to make it 2-1 to AmaZulu with Amakhosi caught napping at the near-post.
However, Amakhosi applied pressure on Usuthu and keeper Richard Ofori made a blunder as he guided Glody Lilepo's attempt into the back of the net to make it 2-2 in the 63rd minute.
Ultimately, the match ended in a 2-2 draw as the two teams shared the spoils on the night.
