Moroka Swallows coach Gordon Igesund believes that striker Lerato Chabangu still has a lot to offer South African football.
Igesund gave Chabangu a lifeline after he was dumped by Mamelodi Sundowns allegedly due to lack of discipline and alcohol problems, however, the hitman came back to haunt his former club when scored he scored Swallows second goal that sent Sundowns packing from the Telkom Knockout Cup with a 3-0 defeat at the Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday.
Igesund predicted that local football fans would soon be seeing the ‘old' Chabangu that used to mesmerise defenders whilst at Chloorkop a few years back.
"I am very happy with Chabangu's performance. I have always said he is one of the most talented players in South Africa and I am happy to see him working hard at training.
"I believe his goal against Sundowns will go long way to motivating him to score more goals for Swallows this season."
The Dube Birds coach also says that Malian striker Cisse Bongouta is still very much in his plans this season. Bongouta has not seen much action this season as Igesund has preferred to play Siyabonga Nomvete and Mpho Maleka upfront.
"Cisse always offers me plan B or C but at this moment Nomvete and Maleka are doing well upfront. Cisse is a great professional and working hard at training and he will get his chance very soon.
