The story

Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana striker Zakhele Lepasa endured a difficult 2024/25 campaign after failing to make a single competitive appearance for the Buccaneers. 

Lepasa, who made positive strides in the 2023/24 season with 10 goals in 22 appearances for Ezimnyama Ngenkani, missed the entirety of last season due to a reported ankle injury.

In a heartfelt post, Lepasa looked back on one of the few positive moments from the recently concluded 24/25 season, where he was able to bring his son and niece onto the FNB Stadium pitch when Pirates defeated league winners Mamelodi Sundowns, 2-1, on 16 March, courtesy of a Relebohile Mofokeng brace.
