Have Mamelodi Sundowns found the next Percy Tau? According to coach Manqoba Mngqithi, Kutlwano Letlhaku is going to be special.

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS YOUNGSTER TO SHINE

It’s been around a year since the 18-year-old Kutlwano Letlhaku was signed from the School of Excellence. Following his first senior goal against Golden Arrows in the Carling Knockout, coach Mnqithi believes the boy is special and ready to shine for Sundowns.

“I must say that he’s one for the future and I believe he’s got a lot to offer. He hasn’t done what I think he’s capable of in terms of him scoring in official matches because he has scored some very good goals in pre-season,” the Kabo Yellow coach told journalists at the post-match conference.

“Unfortunately, in official matches, he hasn’t been as brave to take these opportunities because he’s got a brilliant left foot and we still expect a lot from him. He’s a very good player in one against one cutting into the box.

“There’s still a lot more that I expect from him. I’m excited to see that his teammates do feel that maybe giving him a little bit of a boost is going to take him to the next level because he’s going to be very important for the team going forward,” the Sundowns boss concluded.
