Pirates To Make Big Lepasa Decision

Zakhele Lepasa of South Africa celebrates goal during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers match between South Africa and Morocco on 17 June 2023 at FNB Stadium

Orlando Pirates are expected to make a decision on the future of Zakhele Lepasa in line with the plans for the club for next season.

For the second half of the season, Lepasa was sent on loan to SuperSport United after he struggled for game time under Pirates coach Jose Riveiro.

In nine appearances under Gavin Hunt, the 26-year-old striker has scored two goals and has also been in the Bafana Bafana setup under Hugo Broos for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Against Morocco at FNB Stadium on the weekend, Lepasa scored Bafana's second goal in the 2-1 victory for the local side and was influential throughout the match.

Indications are that Pirates have been impressed with the player's progress, with the team likely to re-call him for next season.

"Zakhele Lepasa has been impressive and Pirates are likely to recall him for next season. The team will be playing in Africa (CAF Champions League) and the coach and his technical team will need to have depth and that's why Lepasa is unlikely to go on another loan," said the source.
