Dube scored 13 goals for Spurs despite making only two starts. He came off the bench on 22 occasions.
Other signees:
- Goalkeepers – Zakhele Ngcobo (Royal Eagles) and Innocent Mbangeni (Manco Milano).

Baroka chairman, Khurishi Mphahlele, also revealed that the team will use the Peter Mokaba Sports Complex as their home ground and Giyani Stadium as the alternative home ground for the 2016/17 season.
The technical team stays as it was in the promotional league, with Kgoloko Thobejane leading the side as the head coach.
Meanwhile, Clover SA recommitted to the side as the team’s main sponsor for three years, with Two Mountains Funerals and Passion Beverages coming on as new sponsors.
