Former Amakhosi player scores for new team

Lesako was recently released from his contract after spending the previous season on loan to Moroka Swallows. The young player, the product of Chiefs' development academy, did not have a good run with the Dube Birds as he made only two appearances for the team.

He came off as a substitute when Swallows played against Maritzburg United and TS Galaxy last year.

He started on a sound footing with his new club, Casric Stars, by scoring the second equalizing goal in the 57th minute during their match with Marumo Gallants FC. Casric Stars drew 2-2 with Gallants, a game that was played on 27 August.

South Africans excited for Lesako

Netizens on Facebook congratulated him and were happy he found a team where he got game time. Some poked fun at the club, while others were sad that he played for a lower-league team.

Thubelihle Ntanzi said:

“Wow, I’m so happy for him.”

Moeketsi Liphoko clapped:

“Shine, boy, shine. Vaal in the 18 area.”

Mandla Mrholozi watched the game:

“I watched him live. He was on fire.”

Akiro Love remarked:

“Lord Guluva, skelem key. Time for you to shine, boy.”

Sinethemba Jakavula took shots.

“Their academy product is playing in the lower league. Is there anything good about this club (Kaizer Chiefs)?”

Mohau Moifatswane was disappointed in Chiefs for letting him go.

“Imagine you release Lesako and keep Kamohelo Mahlatsi.”

Vuyo Mgojo pointed out:

“But he was coming along so well for the club.”
