There's no two ways about it, Kamogelo Sebelebele is a special breed of player, having shown his worth in the last two matches for Orlando Pirates, and now Abdeslam Ouaddou has weighed in.
Pirates finally found the winning recipe when they overcame Stellenbosch FC in a 1-0 win at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday to secure their first victory of the season.

That came after two league defeats and was decided by winger Sebelebele, who had scored to help salvage a 1-1 draw in a first leg of the MTN8 semi-final against Mamelodi Sundowns just four days prior.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Ouaddou had plenty of praise to offer.
"He is just a fantastic player, a well-educated player, professional and very humble. So, I don’t think I have much to tell him. He knows his job, he knows what to do," said the former AS Vita gaffer.
"In football, I always say to my players, humility is one of the most important qualities for a professional football player.
"As soon as you stop learning, you stop improving. He is the type of guy who works hard every day since he joined the club.

"He doesn’t complain. You can see I put him on the right back, also I put him as a winger, and he’s always giving his best.
"He is the type of player that we want to have in the team, and he has done a fantastic job," added Ouaddou.
Pirates need a high-scoring draw or outright victory in the second leg at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday at 15:00 to reach their fourth successive MTN8 final.
