The Soweto-based club have only managed to gather 12 points from nine matches this season and are ninth on the Betway Premiership table, 12 points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Amakhosi are struggling with scoring this season despite playing some good football under Nabi during this campaign.

"There's a certain player at Pirates who is not playing," the Glamour Boys legend said.
"Tell who is better than him at Chiefs. He is a Bafana player; when he plays, he's in Broos' squad.
"Tell me who is better at Chiefs than him right now, as a striker."

Lepasa had a fantastic season in the 2023-24 campaign and was instrumental to South Africa's qualification for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, but injury problems and a dip in form caused him to lose his place in Jose Riveiro's team.
