The reigning champions moved up to 10th spot in the PSL table after Saturday's 0-0 draw with Platinum Stars but that has not stopped speculation that the three-time PSL-winning coach could be relieved of his duties.
Details of a meeting between senior players and club officials including chairman Khulu Sibiya and director of football Stan Matthews last month were leaked to the press, but Hunt insisted that he still feels secure in his position.
"It's nonsense. The chairman and director of football addressed a few of the players a couple of weeks ago to ask them why the season was going so badly but there is nothing sinister going on," he told Football365.co.za.
"Obviously it's been a very disappointing season but to see all the speculation in the newspapers is a shame. I look at some of the other coaches in the PSL like Owen Da Gama or Ernst Middendorp and there is no pressure on them to be sacked."
Hunt added: "I have lifted the bar in the last three seasons and now people expect success every year. But our team is in a transitional phase and we need to rebuild and start again. If they don't want me then there's nothing I can do about it.
"It would be a shame after winning three titles - something no one has ever done before - but football is a strange business."
Matsasantsa face with Golden Arrows on Wednesday night as the Nedbank Cup kicks off. And having failed to match their championship winning form over the past three seasons with similar success in the cup competitions, Hunt admitted he is hoping for a change in fortune.
"It's true that we have struggled in knockouts in the past but now we have a great chance to pick up some silverware," he said.
"We have had a disappointing season in the league but the match against Arrows will be about who is more prepared on the day."
