The Kaizer Chiefs academy once produced a player named Lebohang Lesako for the Betway Premiership team.
The attacker made his debut under former Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt before he was loaned out to the Motsepe Foundation Championship’s (MFC) Swallows FC.
Fast forward to 2025, and the winger has made a sensational revival. Lesako,25, is a key part of Casric’s current hunt for promotion to the Betway Premiership.

“He has shown growth both as a player and as a person and that’s what makes them happy with his progress. They are believed to have enquired about him as they have shown interest in him,” the insider added.
“They are believed to be respecting Castic Stars and are giving them space as they are still fighting in the playoffs. It’s apparently believed that after the playoffs that’s when things can open up. But the interest is there in Lebohang Lesako,” the source concluded.
