Betway Premiership — Round 27 | 5 May 2026
Orbit College FC produced the most important result of their Betway Premiership season so far, beating Magesi FC 2-1 in a relegation six-pointer thanks to goals from Lucky Malatsi and Gomolemo Khoto — a win that pulled the Rustenburg side out of the drop zone with three fixtures still to play.
Malatsi sets the platform
Lucky Malatsi got Orbit College up and running with the opening goal, settling nerves around the ground and giving the Mswenko Boyz the lead they needed in a contest where every minute counted. From a side fighting for top-flight survival in its debut Premiership season, it was exactly the start the moment required.
Khoto seals the deal
Gomolemo Khoto added the second to double the advantage and effectively settle the contest. Magesi pulled one back to set the final at 2-1 and force a nervy closing spell, but Orbit College held firm to take the three points home — the kind of result that turns a relegation campaign on its head.
Where this leaves Orbit College
The win lifted Orbit College to 14th on 24 points and out of the relegation playoff zone, with daylight — however slim — between them and the danger below. A 0-0 home draw against AmaZulu four days later added another point to the column and reinforced the survival surge.
Head coach Pogiso Makhoye has been clear about the target: four points from the last three matches to stay up. Three of those four are already in the bag. Two fixtures remain to finish the job, and the squad has given itself a real chance to do exactly that.
Final word
A first-half opener through Malatsi, a second from Khoto, three points in the bag and a Premiership campaign suddenly alive again — Orbit College picked the perfect moment to deliver the performance of their season. Rustenburg has waited for nights like this one. The Mswenko Boyz delivered.
