Richards Bay, meanwhile, saw Siyanda Msani return after being barred from playing against his parent club Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup, alongside Abel Mabaso and Luvuyo Memela.
The game started at a fast pace, with Babina Noko looking to create chances for Sekhukhune, and Seabi coming close to breaking the deadlock midway through the first stanza with a shot that narrowly missed the far post.
Richards Bay also had their chances, with Memela heading just wide late in the first stanza. The second stanza began with Sekhukhune on the front foot, and they eventually broke the deadlock four minutes in when Mahlangu struck in the box from a Nyiko Mobbie cross.
Chibuike Ohizu then doubled their lead three minutes later with a shot in the box after being set up by Seabi.
Richards Bay made a few changes in an attempt to get back into the game, introducing Sakhile Hlongwa and Ovella Ochieng, but Sekhukhune held on to get back to winning ways.
