Dikoma fans who were determined to celebrate their culture known as mofetolelo walked to the sports palace leaving their valuables behind.  Other motorist managed to find another long alternative bushy road to access the sports palace. They finally gathered,sang morupelo songs and played kgathi. The last man standing kgati champion who was supposed to walk away with a goat was not announced.
