Let's take a closer look...

Steve Lekoelea brings back his Kwaito flow

At the tender age of 15, South African football fans were introduced to a baller they would soon regard as a creative midfield wiz, after Steve Lekoelea broke through at Moroka Swallows.

In 1995, aged 16, "Chippa" became the youngest goal scorer in the Premier Soccer League, with his short but memorable time at Swallows seeing him draw attention from the mighty Orlando Pirates.

Lekoelea would go on to spent over 10 seasons at the Buccaneers, making around 200 appearances  from 1995 to 2005.

Chippa was a household name at Pirates and went on to represent Bafana Bafana, making him a cult hero for fans who enjoyed his unreal free-kicks, passing and of course, dribbling.

The retired baller sat down with Lorenz Lorenz Köhler on 10bet's "The Bettor Pod". Along with reminiscing over his career on the podcast, Lekoelea was also asked by the 10bet's team to reenact his verse from the "Jersey #10" with 90's and early 2000s Kwaito sensation, Mzambiya.

Here's Lekoelea revealing his favourite squad number, the free-kick taker he prefers between David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as the hairstyle that look best on him:
