Malepa Bolelang with his daughter PIC: KEOAGILE BONANG

FRANCISTOWN: Former ECCO City Greens and Zebras forward, Malepa Bolelang declared he has given up all hope on his coaching dream, but insisted that he will not be totally lost to the beautiful game.

Bolelang had his right leg amputated in February 2018 following a horrific freak car accident. On the day, the former Premier League top goal scorer was celebrating his birthday at a popular drinking spot at Somerset West location. A car ploughed into him, leading to the amputation.

Chippa was by then part of the coaching set up at Francistown City Greens (formerly ECCO) and he openly showed the desire to pursue coaching. The former Premier League top marksman has since fully recovered following the amputation and walks with the aid of an artificial leg.
