It was a happy return for Cavin Johnson, with goals from Sibusiso Msomi, Bonginkosi Ntuli and Robert Ng'ambi helping Dikwena leapfrog Bidvest Wits and into top spot on the log standings.
Jeremy Brockie scored what proved to be a mere consolation for the hosts, who could end the weekend in the relegation zone if AmaTuks and Jomo Cosmos win on Sunday.
Stars almost got off to the ideal start as a floated free-kick from the left flank found Eleazer Rodgers, who rose highest only to see his header fly wide in the opening minute of the clash.
The pair of Ntuli and Rodgers was proving to be a handful for the SuperSport defence with the latter again over powering Clayton Daniels only to see his effort wide of goal in the 22nd minute.
Rodgers and Ntuli continued to cause havoc with the pair linking up well inside the area to set-up Ng'ambi, who would've felt disappointed in himself for failing to hit the target with an acrobatic shot six minutes later.
Ng'ambi then saw his shot from inside the area straight at Ronwen Williams before Ntuli missed a gilt-edged chance with only the goalkeeper to beat.
Dove Wome almost made the burly forward pay for his mistake soon after, but Mbongeni Mzimela was up to the task to see the sides enter the break deadlocked at 0-0.
The opening goal finally came in the 53rd minute, Msomi's shot from a tight angle flying past Williams via the inside of the post.
Things went from bad to worse for hosts as Ntuli doubled Dikwena's lead seven minutes later. The on-loan Sundowns striker weaved his way past a few static defenders before providing a cool finish.
SuperSport pulled a goal back through Brockie from an acute angle in the 68th minute only for Ng'ambi to restore Stars lead following poor defending by Matsatsantsa.
Despite a few nervy moments in the final exchanges, Stars held on for a memorable win.
