Vilakazi Earns Quirky Moniker From isiZulu Commentator

The story

Vilakazi came off the bench during Chiefs' 2-1 win over SuperSport United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday in the DStv Premiership.

It was his fourth appearance as a substitute for the club, with the 18-year-old yet to make a start for the first team since he was recently rewarded with his first professional contract that will run until June 2028.

"Obrigado" as he's affectionately known by the Khosi Nation, replaced Pule Mmodi in the 68th minute of the game and upon his entry onto the field, SuperSport TV's isiZulu commentator, Reggie "Mapensela" Ndlovu gave the youngster an interesting new nickname.

Mapensela named Vilakazi "Paper 2", saying the young baller is a hard player for the opposition coaches, players and analyst to study. 

The charismatic commentator feels that any Paper 2 exam is the hardest to prepare for, whether its History or Mathematics, comparing Vilakazi's abilities to a tricky exam paper.

According to Mapensela, Chiefs' teenage sensation is a book that can't be read, a test that can't be written and a maths equation that can't be solved.
