Orbit College recorded back-to-back wins in the Betway Premiership for the first time after they ran out 3-1 victors over Magesi at Olympia Park on Saturday.
The clash in Rustenburg had it all, as Monnapule Saleng opened the scoring from the penalty spot on the stroke of halftime before Thuso Moleleki and Mbulelo Wagaba extended the Mswenko Boyz's lead in the second half.
Katlego Mkhabela was then given his marching orders on 64 minutes and Dikwena tsa Meetse took swift advantage when Edmore Chirambadare reduced the deficit six minutes later.
Pogiso Makhoye's side held on, though, to claim a precious three points as they climbed up to 11th place, four points clear of Magesi, who remain second from bottom in the standings.
Orbit College were looking to build on their 2-1 win over Richards Bay on October 17 which gave them some breathing space to the relegation zone, while John Maduka's side managed to arrest a two-game losing streak with a 2-1 success against TS Galaxy one day later.
The visitors dominated the possession in the first half and also had more attempts at goal, but they only tested Sabelo Nkomo on one occasion after hitting the target on the quarter-hour mark.
Moleleki was presented with a chance at the other end four minutes later, only to fire wayward and Saleng also missed the target after cutting inside on 41 minutes.
However, the Orlando Pirates loanee made amends soon afterwards when the hosts were awarded a penalty in added time and he beat Elvis Chipezeze from 12 yards out to register his second goal of the season.
Magesi put early pressure on the opposition after winning a corner in the opening minute of the second half, but it was the Mswenko Boyz who doubled their advantage on 52 minutes through Moleleki.
The midfielder then turned provider as he set up Wagaba nine minutes later to give the top-flight newcomers a three-goal cushion, although they suffered a setback moments later with the dismissal of Mkhabela for a second yellow card.
Dikwena tsa Meetse didn't take long to capitalise on the extra man after Edmore Chirambadare pulled one back on 70 minutes to set up a nervy finish to the game.

The home goal came under threat again a couple of minutes later, but Nkomo was on hand to make the save and ensure there would be no way back for the Limpopo outfit.
