Playing alongside Olisa Ndah in Bucs' central defence, Sesane has been outstanding with his performances and high work-rate as the Buccaneers have not lost in 10 matches in the different competitions so far this season, and Xoki has been impressed with the 24-year-old's progress.
"It's always great for the group, it means that the collective is working together, it's working well. For them it's been a great start to the season, and I couldn't be happier for Thabiso. He's been good so far, and he has even got a national team call up, which is great for him. Hopefully now it's onwards and upwards. He's had good performances which is the testament of the call up, so we just have to support him and keep encouraging him and make sure that the other ones are also looking up to him," said Xoki, speaking to journalists.

"We still have the likes of (Mohau) Nkota coming through, and he (Sesane) came through last season. It's good for the club to have your development players coming to the team and making sure that they also put their foot forward and contribute towards the success of the team," the experienced defender added.
