Kutlwano's Thabo Seitshiro played a major part in destroying Diphatsa. Even those that supported Diphatsa acknowledged his presence. He played in all sections of the court but was more lethal in the front line. Seitshiro helped his team maintain an early 5-1 lead in the second set restoring hope to the Kutlwano fans.
