The game between MSD Wolves and Dream Team was flowing like a murmuration where the man defense, rebounding and offense was amazing but Dream Team decided to take high percentage shots to defeat MSD Wolves

Seshego Sonics used anticipating skill to improve their chances to be the champions against MSD Wolves as their defense, rebounding and offense was of good skill unfortunately their shots couldn't make them the champions.


Coach Hulisani Tshishonga of Seshego Sonics

Hinted that there was no player who got injured during the play-offs.He mentioned that winning the championship they had massive "team work" and "the girls took instructions seriously.
I managed to read the game & make a good set play to score more points for us to win".He loved the experience even though it was a bit challenging for them as " we didn't have enough time to practice for the play-offs due to the pandemic",he said.Lastly said that they are happy with the win.


Captain of Dream Team Eddie Vato


They loved the whole season of the Basketball,eventhough some players took some time off from the squad due to studies,they also managed to put together the squad to ensure that they are stronger than before.One thing that broke them was the mere fact of being mocked.

Expressed the SSP experience as extraordinary because they had an opportunity to build their team spirit & they had a chance to know how people feel about them.
Dream Team being the champions of the 1st SSP league they will be written in the books of history,Eddie added by saying " we proved alot of people that we as Dream Team we have transformed into something big..."His closing words were "as a captain I am proud of my team,no matter how hard it was we pulled through till the end."


The MVPs of the league they received the Limpopo Pride Vests as a symbol of appreciation by PBA alongside Limpopo Basketball Association.Tebogo Nkosi from Dream Team and Nthabiseng Tsweleng from Seshego Sonics


Tebogo Nkosi the MVP 

The young man who is 21 years studying Public Administration at University of Limpopo from Mpumalanga,his training or I say the way he prepares for the game & normal day is just unexplainable with words but mostly with actions.He says all of this things that he does they are not in the mind,yet he puts more focus on what he does, because it's just entertainment you must have fun & enjoy. He also said he boosts his confidence by listening to music.

He mentioned that the experience was 'phenomenal' as he never played in a league before, inspiration of him playing basketball is brotherhood & unity in his team because they help each other with everything.Lastly being the MVP the feeling is amazing and he couldn't express himself further as he was overwhelmed.


Nthabiseng Tsweleng the MVP

Nthabiseng Tsweleng the MVP (Most Valuable Player) of the league the 28 year old lady from Seshego who is a student at Unisa doing her bridging course of Safety Management,spends her typical day jogging & practicing 2/3 times in preparation of all the games,she has 15 years in the basketball industry.

Reason she chose basketball as a lady is because of the inspiration from watching WNBA & acquire more skills,lastly "it's a demanding sport & different but I was also pushed to do well by my coaches Boyo Diketso & Khazane Khoza..."

On her expression of being the MVP she said "I feel honoured to be seniors MVP & it makes me to grow and improve everyday,so it's all about the hard work and dedication."
