22-year old point guard Hlamalani Bosega (PG-2003) put on an amazing game in the last round for Limpopo Pride and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 7.
He had a double-double of 35 points and 19 rebounds, while his team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team Zebras (#5, 0-4) with 16-point margin 77-61. Pride maintains the 4th position in their group in the South African league. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked such low. They already lost 3 games and recorded just one victory. Bosega has many years of experience at Pride, through which he has constantly improved. Bosega has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 17.0ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 12.8rpg) and averages solid 2.5spg.

Second best performed player last round was Tiyiselani Mashele of Northern Cape Zebras. He is a in his first season at Zebras. In the last game Mashele recorded an impressive double-double of 19 points and 16 rebounds. Bad luck as Zebras lost that game 61-77 to slightly higher-ranked Pride (#4, 1-3). Zebras managed to keep the same 5th spot in Group A. 4 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Mashele is one of the most experienced players at Zebras and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to another Zebras' star - Koketso Mafate. Mafate showcased his all-around game by recording 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. Despite Mafate's great performance the Northern Cape Zebras lost 61-77 to slightly higher-ranked Pride (#4, 1-3). But his team cannot count on just these two top stars as they also need help of the other teammates. Zebras can only dream about fighting for top spots in Group A. They have awful season losing so far all 4 games. Mafate has a very solid season. In 3 games in South Africa he scored 15.7ppg.
