The 25-year-old attacker joined the Brazilians in July but will only make his competitive debut next season
Black Leopards caretaker coach Mongezi Bobe is backing Mamelodi forward Lesedi Kapinga to follow the footsteps of Hlompho Kekana and Tiyani Mabunda to become a key player at Chloorkop.
After scoring six goals in 27 appearances across all competitions for Leopards this season, Kapinga caught the attention of Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane, who signed him in July.
Bobe, a former Leopards captain, witnessed Kapinga’s rise closely, and feels the forward will transform himself into an instrumental figure in Mosimane’s side.
