Former Zebras striker, Malepa Bolelang says he is ready to move on following a horrific car accident that left his leg amputated in February this year. He had a chat with Staff Writer CHAKALISA DUBE

A jovial and relaxed Bolelang welcomed Mmegi Sport team for an interview at his home at Block Four in Francistown. Throughout the interview, Bolelang maintains a very friendly face that he often displayed on the pitch during his playing days.

On the day of the freak accident, Chippa, as Bolelang is affectionately known, was celebrating his birthday at a popular drinking spot at Somerset West location when a car ploughed into him, leaving the 2006-2007 Premier League Player of the Season badly injured, resulting in an amputation of his right leg.
