A former Orlando Pirates captain who has taken up coaching since his retirement, has made his long-awaited return to football.
Since parting ways with Golden Arrows in April last year, Lehlohonolo Seema has been in the football wilderness, though he had been linked with a few clubs during his 11-month absence.

The 42-year-old ex-defender has been unveiled as the coach of ambitious third tier outfit, Peace Makers, who are vying for promotion to Mzansi's second tier.
Peace Makers is the Eastern Cape club that has close relations with Chippa United due to their owner Wanda Mbenguzana working for the Chilli Boys.
The ABC Motsepe League outfit has also been serving as a feeder team for the Chilli Boys.
"In our endeavours to gain promotion, we have strengthened our technical team with the addition of coach Lehlohonolo Seema as our head coach (with) immediate effect. We welcome coach Seema to the Conquerors," confirmed the club on its social media platforms.
Indications are that Chippa, who are sitting 13th on the DStv Premiership log and above bottom placed Marumo Gallants by just five points, could be keeping a close eye on Seema for when they may need to make further changes to the technical team to boost their chances of avoiding relegation.
Chippa have recently parted ways with Morgan Mammila and replaced him with Kurt Lentjies to work alongside Siyabulela Gwambi.

Seema previously coached Chippa and was at the helm when the Gqeberha-based side retained their status through the PSL's promotion/relegation play-offs in 2021.
Chippa had finished the season in position 15 and decided to rope in Seema to save their topflight status.
