Bafana shock Morocco: Broos cannot fathom why Lepasa is not a club regular: Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos made special mention of defender Mothobi Mvala and striker Zakhele Lepasa after his team's memorable 2-1 shock of much-fancied Morocco.
Goals by Percy Tau and Lepasa secured Bafana their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying win over the Atlas Lions to go top of Group K, but they may be overtaken by Morocco who still have to play against whipping boys Liberia.The match against the 2022 World Cup semifinalists was a dead rubber as both South Africa and Morocco had qualified for next year's Nations from the three-team group.

He is a good partner with Siyanda [Xulu] and the rest of the defence.“Don’t ask for many technical and fantastic things from Mothobi, but what a strong mentality and he is an example for everyone in the team.”Lepasa has had his doubters having battled for goals at Orlando Pirates and then on loan in the past season to SuperSport United.
