What's the story
The focus of South African football last weekend was on two major fixtures, the Soweto Derby at the FNB Stadium and the African Football League final at Loftus Versfeld.
Lebani Sirenje, known as Rasta the Artist rarely misses an opportunity to honour sporting figures and to celebrate a big weekend for SA football, he painted Kaizer Chiefs' Cavin Johnson and another portrait appearing to be of Rulani Mokwena.

Let's take a closer look at Rasta's work...
Rasta paints Cavin and... Rulani?
Rasta the Artist famously paints portraits of prominent figures from the arts/entertainment industry to politicians and sport personalities.
Whether he's paying homage to a famous person who is alive or deceased, the popular painter made his name by adding his own twist to portraits.
Although he's been ridiculed on social media at times, he's paved his own lane by depicting famous people through his own style and lens.
As a football fan, Rasta enjoys doing work on coaches, players, legends and even heavy hitters like Kaizer Chiefs' Marketing Director Jessica Motaung.
He's also done artworks on Lucas Radebe, Siphiwe Tshabalala, Doctor Khumalo and the late Clive Barker.
He recently shared a portrait he did on Cavin Johnson, Amakhosi's interim head coach ahead of last Saturday's Soweto Derby, with the Glamour Boys losing 1-0 to their fierce rivals Orlando Pirates.

On Instagram, he shared a portrait of what looked like a depiction of Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena, writing in his caption:
"Mamelodi Sundowns is the best team in Africa, we proud of you guys. The sky is the limit, indeed."
He shared this portrait after Sundowns clinched the inaugural African Football League crown, defeated Wydad Casablanca 2-0 on Sunday and 3-2 on aggregate.
