Kaizer Chiefs youth coach bags UEFA A License
Letsholonyane, who is currently the Amakhosi U17 team coach, enrolled with the Irish Football Association (IFA).
The 33-year-old had been longing to do his UEFA Coaching badges since 2020 but he was unable to due to Covid-19.
Nonetheless, Letsholonyane finally took and completed this major step which could go a long way in his coaching career.
The Jabavu-born mentor did not have a successful playing career but he remained committed to staying within the football circles.
Letsholonyane is a product of Chiefs' Academy who did not get to taste first team football during his playing days.
He was promoted to the Amakhosi senior team in 2011 but subsequently loaned our to Dynamos in the then National First Division (NFD).
He returned to Chiefs a year later but continued to play for the reserves until his first team contract expired in 2014.
Letsholonyane, who is Yeye's younger brother, was forced to retire soon afterwards due to a serious knee injury.

'Bring back Jose Riveiro!' – Pirates faithful lose patience with Ouaddou
Orlando Pirates supporters are calling on the club's management to recall Jose Riveiro after the team suffered back-to-back league defeats. Under new head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, the Buccaneers have lost their opening two Betway Premiership matches. This past weekend, Pirates went down 1-0 to Sekhukhune United. On Tuesday evening, many expected the Sea Robbers to bounce back against Marumo Gallants but were humiliated 2-1 despite scoring first. The defeat leaves Ouaddou's men right at the bottom after two matches. Orlando Pirates fans are calling for Riveiro Jose Riveiro coached Pirates from 2022 until 2025 where he went on to win five trophies with the Soweto giants. His contract ended in June and the Spaniard opted not to renew, and instead, he joined Egyptian giants Al Ahly. Ouaddou was named as his replacement and many Bucs faithful saw him as the man who would finally help the club get over the line and win the league title. With two matches played, the Sea Robbers have nothing to show for and supporters are frustrated. After Orlando Pirates defeat to Gallants, many supporters took to social media to ask the management to bring back Riveiro. @ka_madesi wrote: 'This guy found a well oiled machine.
