Hunt confirms failed bid for former Orlando Pirates striker
Durban City head coach Gavin Hunt has confirmed that he did approach former Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa for his services. The 28-year-old Bafana Bafana forward worked under the 60-year-old coach during a six-month loan at SuperSport United, where he rediscovered his form. Lepasa was recalled by Pirates and also represented Bafana Bafana, where he helped them qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Unfortunately, injuries halted his progress, and he missed out on the tournament, which took place in early 2024. Last season, he failed to make a single appearance for the Buccaneers due to an injury, and ultimately, he was offloaded by the club. Hunt, who joined Durban City last month, said the former Orlando Pirates star did not accept his offer. The lanky striker has been linked to several teams in recent weeks including Kaizer Chiefs. 'Yeah, it's someone we approached, but obviously… I think he has other ideas, the boy… so we haven't heard from him, so we [probably] have to move on, it's one of those things,' the former SuperSport United mentor told iDiski Times . Since leaving Pirates, Lepasa has been training with Bafana Bafana ahead of the CHAN tournament. South Africa plays Algeria in their opening match at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane's evolution in MLS deserves Hugo Broos' attention
Minnesota United's Bongokuhle Hlongwane may well be asking himself what more he needs to do to convince Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos to bring him back into the national team fold. The 25-year-old Pietermaritzburg-born Hlongwane was back among the goals this weekend, netting the second goal in Minnesota United's 3-3 draw against Club America. Unfortunately, they would go on to lose the game 8-7 on penalties. Sunday's goal brought his tally to two in the last week. He also scored in their impressive 4-1 win over Mexican club Querétaro. The two strikes brought his tally to three goals for the season. It's not been his best season in terms of goals, but he's mainly been used in deeper or more defensive roles, which is a testament to his versatility. Throughout his time in the United States, he's shown countless times that he can be an exciting footballer with an eye for the spectacular. In his inaugural Leagues Cup campaign two years ago, he finished with seven goals, with global superstar Lionel Messi the only player who scored more.
