'It’s a huge loss' – Gunners on Pepezino move

Mokoke will be number two to South African tactician, Morena Ramoreboli and replace veteran coach, Oris Radipotsane who has since been deployed to the development structures.

Pepezino’s stay at Gunners has been short-lived but attained a ‘messiah’s status at the club. Mokoke joined Gunners in November for his second stint. The team was sitting at the bottom of the log without a goal and a point after four games. Mokoke led the team in 11 games, winning seven and losing four times. Under his watch, Mapantsula moved from the foot of the table to just a place shy of the top eight. Gunners are now ninth on the log, level points with eighth-placed Morupule Wanderers on 21 points. Speaking to Mmegi Sport, Gunners’ public relations officer, Oarabile Kgosiesele said the club has kick-started the process of finding a new coach.
