Reneilwe 'Yeye' Letsholonyane maintains unbeaten run in Botswana

Reneilwe Letsholonyane guided his side Matebele FC to a 1-0 win over Morupule Wanderers in the Botswana FNB Premiership on Thursday.

Yeye's team is yet to taste defeat since the resumption of the league last month, having now registered three wins on the trot.

Matebele moved up to 10th on the Botswana topflight standings, with 20 points accumulated from 17 league outings in the 16-team championship.

Kuka Ntsu lost their first three matches under the tutelage of Letsholonyane, which saw the club embroiled in a relegation scrap. Now, Matebele are eight points clear of the drop zone.

Since taking over, the Kaizer Chiefs legend has overseen 14 games, winning five, losing seven, while drawing the other two matches.

Letsholonyane was appointed in August 2025, putting pen to paper on a two-year deal with an option to extend for a further 12 months.

The former Bafana international has been tasked with improving the club's standings on the log, as they finished 12th last season.

Matebele return to action on Saturday with a visit from Black Lions, who boast Chiefs loanee Xolani Cossa at the heart of defence.
