Orlando Pirates Kasi Flavour moment
Bucs Reserves climbed to the top of the DStv Diski Challenge standings after an impressive 3-0 win over Sekhukhune United.
The goals on the day weren't even the biggest talking points from the day. The Kasi Flavour exhibited on the day sent Twitter into a frenzy.
In the first half of the game, a couple of Pirates players took it upon themselves to showcase their skills by showboating in the most exuberant manner possible:
The skills showcased by the Pirates youngsters, Sonwabo Khumalo and Jabulani Mokome, may have been heavily scrutinised by several people online but the team's coach and club legend, Joseph Makhanya found no issue with it:

Tweeps shared mixed reactions to the moment, with the argument of Kasi Flavour's place in the professional/semi-pro football being split more than ever.
"What is this nonsense nina? @orlandopirates Are these the standards we've set for our development teams???" said user @_Sir_CharlesR.
"Let the boys have fun. We need to see this in the PSL too," replied @strAightMARVIN.
"It's called Kasi Flava, uShukela, it's the reason we go to the stadiums, they won 3-0, 3 points in the bag, they are on top of the log. Why not celebrate the only way they know how?
"And if their coach is cool with it, who are we to oppose it. Just let the boys be boys hawu," read a tweet from @sazisomzet.
The SuperSport United boss also reacted to another showboating moment in the Diski Challenge, curtesy of Royal AM chairman Andile Mpisane this time around:
