“I’m very proud to be here and I am where I belong, the way I see things,” he said. “I had been watching the team doing well for a while and I told myself that if I could one day join the club, I would fit in well because the team plays good football.

“Stellenbosch is professional in everything they do. You can see it in the quality of the players and the fact that there is this love that makes everyone happy to be here.

“The way the coaches, the technical team, and the CEO do things is good, and it has created a very healthy environment where one can fit in very quickly. I have been warmly welcomed and it’s felt as though I’ve been training with the team since the pre-season, even though I’ve just arrived.”

Lekoloane also revealed his excitement at joining a club competing across all competitions and shared his ambition to challenge for silverware both domestically and on the continent.

“I’m excited that the club has reached the MTN8 final and qualified for the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup and I believe we can compete to win,” he added.
