Magesi could have studied the rescue history of new head coach Owen Da Gama, who has been tasked with saving the approximately R50 million valued PSL status for the fourth time in his career.
Da Gama finds Dikwena seeking a new inspiration, after they over-achieved, with their Carling Knockout triumph over Mamelodi Sundowns in the final.
It is quite ironic that 'ODG' has replaced Clinton Larsen at the Limpopo side, the same coach that took over from 'Rubber-Doll' at Bloemfontein Celtic after he helped them survive relegation a season prior.
The former Orlando Pirates coach has earned a reputation of having the magic touch with the teams that look down and out, following his exploits with the defunct Silver Stars, where he got them promotion in 2003 and helped them win the same Carling Knockout (previously known as the Telkom Knockout) three years later.

Da Gama was enlisted by Celtic in December 2008 to rescue the club, which was at the bottom of the log going into the last six months of the 2008/9 season.
ODG performed his miracle, after inspiring Siwelele to avoid the drop on goal difference, after they finished 14th on the log.
Having a full season the following campaign, Celtic finished in sixth spot but Da Gama had a fallout with management and was replaced by Larsen.
After surviving relegation by the skin of their teeth in the 2009/10 season, ending up in 14th spot, Platinum Stars re-hired the former junior national team coach for the 2010/11 campaign and he helped them finish in tenth place.

Highlands Park were relegated in the 2016/17 season and they turned to Da Gama going into the National First Division ahead of the 2017/18 term and the multilingual coach gained them promotion back to the Premiership in his first campaign.
TS Galaxy also found themselves in trouble in January 2021, after they parted ways with Dan Malesela precariously lying 13th on the log and appointed 'ODG' with six months left of the campaign.
'Rubber Doll' did not disappoint, after he helped them survive relegation, where they finished in ninth position in the standings.
