In-form Lilepo not yet at his best, says Nabi

The Star

|

May 20, 2025

MAKABI Lilepo has quickly become a fan favourite at Kaizer Chiefs, emerging as a shining light in an otherwise turbulent season for the Soweto giants.

- MIHLALI BALEKA

When Lilepo joined Amakhosi from French outfit Valenciennes FC during the January transfer window, he arrived without much fanfare. Like many African-born players returning from underwhelming European spells, he was expected to languish on the bench or even in the stands.

So far, he has proved his doubters wrong. Lilepo has made an immediate impact, silencing critics with five goals - making him Chiefs’ top scorer in the Betway Premiership.

His performances reflect his pedigree, having previously featured in continental competitions with Al Hilal of Sudan and AS Vita of his native Democratic Republic of Congo.

However, Lilepo’s success hasn't come in isolation. The presence of coach Nasreddine Nabi, who had reportedly shown interest in signing the winger at his previous clubs, may have helped ease his adaptation to South African football.
