On an evening they were on the road for a successive match, it was a show character by Stellenbosch who recovered from last weekend's 5-0 mauling by RS Berkane in the Caf Confederation Cup.
Steve Barker's men also ended a three-match winless streak in the league and Thursday's win helped them move one place up the log to number seven.
Usuthu did not move and remained ninth following their defeat.
Big clubs such as Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates will be keeping tabs on the likes of Titus and Butsaka with Stellies having proved to be a selling club.
