Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa shared an inspiring short story following his involvement in Bafana Bafana’s win on Saturday.

The 25-year-old forward made his international debut on 2 June 2019 in a 2–2 draw with Botswana in the 2019 COSAFA Cup, but hasn’t been a regular in the yellow and green jersey in recent years.

Lepasa brought his family to witness him living the dream of representing the country, a dream that his family “prayed” for.
