The story

Out-of-favour Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana striker, Zakhele Lepasa had a candid reflection on his Instagram stories recently.

The 27-year-old, who's yet to make an appearance this season, noted that it's important for people to air out what they are going through, mentioning that "we all have problems." 

"I don't think we speak about this often enough, we have problems," stated Lepasa, adding: "It's sad when we're going through our phones, everyone is just having it nice, which is not the case, because we all have problems."

Lepasa also noted that, regardless of what position you are in, everyone wants to be rescued from their issues: 

"I think we need to normalize speaking about it because, I was having a conversation with one of my friends and I'm realising how everyone has problems, everyone needs someone to rescue them. Like, we all want to be rescued.

"So, I can't imagine, for people like us, like when you look back on all the people that are really counting on you to rescue them, and you also need to be rescued? I can't imagine how difficult that must be," said Lepasa.
