Friends and family gathered in a memorial service held in Pentecostal Holiness Church (PHC) at Makapanstad to bid farewell to the former Moretele Gunners FC football star and Captain, Kamogelo Isaac Seloane, on Thursday 01 June 2017.

He was also credited with contributed to the club’s promotion to the Vodacom League (now known as Motsepe League) in 2010 as one of the fearless fullbacks. Mourners at the memorial service said the history of football in the area will not be compete without his name.
“Cheeseboy was there when we started the team in 2008, he became the youngest player and then captain of the team because he was a good player and leader,” said the Chairman of Moretele Gunners FC, Mr Simon Tlhatlha.
Former teammate, Tebogo Setlhare, who partnered with ‘Dingo’ in the centre back said he was a talented player, “I have learnt a lot from him and for that I will be forever grateful to him”.
Paul Mathabathe, from Moretele Football Association said the Association is poorer without a player of Dingo’s calibre, “he was a boy with nerves of a steel.”
A lot of speakers alluded that Dingo was a respectable person in the community and that the community has lost a real hero.
