The hosts dominated the game from the start and had several chances to break the deadlock. Midway through the first half, Letsoalo opened the scoring with a first-time shot from the edge of the box after a cut-back by Mncube.
Just before the break, Roderick Kabwe doubled the lead with a low drive from the penalty spot after Ohizu was brought down in the box by Morne Nel.
Spurs showed determination to get back into the game in the second half, creating chances in the last third, but were unable to find the finishing touches.
Sekhukhune managed the game well, absorbing the pressure and giving new signing Sibusiso Vilakazi his debut off the bench in the closing minutes.
In the end, Sekhukhune United cruised to a 2-0 victory and secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Nedbank Cup.
