Just 11 goals stand between Orapa United's marksman, Omaatla 'Dunga' Kebatho and a new record. Dunga is chasing former Township Rollers' striker, Terrence Mandaza's record of 31 league goals.

Mandaza set the record in the 2009-2010 season and 12 seasons later it remains unscathed. With eight games remaining, Kebatho will feel he has a massive chance to write his name in the history books.

The striker completed a haul (scoring four goals) in his side's 8-1 win over struggling Mogoditshane Fighters in a league tie played on Wednesday. The striker has now taken his season's tally to 20 goals and just four shy off the last season's record set by Jwaneng Galaxy's Thabang Sesinyi. Kebatho will be confident of erasing Mandaza's record from the books as he has completed the goal scoring cycle this season. He has scored a brace, a hat trick and now a haul this season.
