The dreadlocked midfielder’s last game for the Phefeni Glamour Boys was back in December against Free State Stars, and he was not expected to return until next season due to the severity of the knee injury, which he picked up in a practise match for Bafana Bafana against Zambia.
But, with his never-say-die attitude, ‘Yeye’ bounced back with a bang in a second half performance against Downs that saw his side win 2-0, ending a four-match losing streak in the process, and earning himself the Man of the Match award.

“I would like to thank the man upstairs because he was the one who guided me while I was injured,” Letsholonyane said after the game. “I would also like to thanks the Kaizer Chiefs family who were also very supportive
“It was not easy being injured for that long and watching my team not doing well, but with all the support I got I managed to come back.”
The Chiefs coaching staff were more than happy to welcome the skilful midfielder back to the fray, but assistant coach Doctor Khumalo gave credit to the whole team and knew Sundowns would crack eventually.
“I must give credit to the boys … they came to the party. If we look at the past games we were creating those scoring chances and we knew we would do the same tonight,” Khumalo said.
“We knew very well that they [Sundowns] were going to crack and they were probably thinking of the Nedbank Cup, so we took the game to them. I don’t think there was pressure. We soldier on till it is over.”

While I agree that he had a decent match (although he passed a few balz to the opposition), I think Dladla had a better one & deserved the accolade yesterday.
We must not be fooled by this so-called come back, Downs were nowhere to be seen in the middle & Xulu & Maponyane did not help either which made Yeye shine.
this statement says it all CHOKERS @it best.
Ugogo wendoda, just when i wanted to eat my lunch and kick off post this
People forget that YEYE has been with Chiefs for a long time and has offered nothing, it was one lucky good performance.
Overall he is an average player with potential
U create scoring chances...unlike some other midfielders who Gatussofy for the whole game....
I still say.....Lucky Baloyi aint ready yet lets loan him
Why are KC fans so gullable? The now say:
Yeye is now the best
The 3-headed coaching stupidity is now the best
They are the best team
They will win the league
They never lost 4 games in a row
The let Pirates beat them 3-2 so that Pirates could win the league
Anyway King, how did it go yesterday after getting a KC female condom?
Mgugudi: i must say KC female condom stems average performance
I don't what fuss is all about, an average performance against a weak team which was dreaming of winning the Pirates trophy and all this noise. Why do't you wait until the bat meet Jali again and go into hiding.
So now the Nurse is a Doctor
The team is no more average
