“Zwane and Shabalala, those boys should be thrown into the fray. Not only during a friendly game like the Carling Cup but even in the league,” the Kaizer Chiefs legend told FARPost.

“But unfortunately, you also have to be very careful what you say as a former player.

“I have been in that situation. When you are young like that, you don’t just get thrown into the fray when the team is losing 1-0, so Kaizer Chiefs have to win 2-0 to 3-0, then put in those boys.

“However they seem to battle to win by a decent margin that will allow the coach to play the youngsters.”

“So, he calls me [when I arrived for training at Kaizer Chiefs]. And this other guy is like, ‘okay, this is the boy’. Then Arthur Zwane was like, ‘oh, this is him’.” Lepasa told FARPost.

“I was short at the time, a bit skinny. He [Zwane] is like, ‘how old are you’? I’m like ’16’. Then Zwane is like, ‘no, no no’. He didn’t even give me a chance to train.”.
