The midfielder played a central role in Galaxy\u2019s strong start to the season, netting three goals and providing two assists across five league fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dithejane\u2019s highlight came in a memorable hat-trick against Chippa United. This secured him a Man of the Match award and edged him past other strong contenders. These contenders included Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen and Sekhukhune\u2019s Keletso Makgalwa. His consistent displays helped TS Galaxy maintain momentum early in the season. The team is now positioned as one of the teams to watch in the Betway Premiership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udfc6 \ud835\udc0f\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc32\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc2b \ud835\udc28\ud835\udc1f \ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc21\ud835\udc1e \ud835\udc0c\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc21 \ud83c\udfc6<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TSGALAXYFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@TSGALAXYFC<\/a>\u2019s Puso Dithejane is the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BetwayPrem?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#BetwayPrem<\/a> August Player of the Month \ud83d\udc4f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JHTb9ScTMc\">pic.twitter.com\/JHTb9ScTMc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Official PSL (@OfficialPSL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialPSL\/status\/1963513720916607207?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/lucas-ribeiro-dominates-2024-25-psl-awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lucas Ribeiro Dominates 2024\/25 PSL Awards with Four Major Wins<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-231814821\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eric-tinkler-guides-sekhukhune-united-to-top-form\">Eric Tinkler Guides Sekhukhune United to Top Form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric Tinkler was named Coach of the Month after leading Sekhukhune United to an exceptional start in the Premiership.
