What happened to Lerato Chabangu?
The former Sundowns player Lerato Chabangu was in his prime during his early soccer days. His talent and performance on the soccer field awarded him the nickname 'All You Need Is Love.'
In 2017, he admitted to Sowetan that he used to live a flashy life where alcohol and women were the centre of his universe. He mentioned how the squad would finish training early in the morning, leaving them with more than enough time to drink and cause all sorts of mischief.
