Ookame steps into Kebatho’s boots

He shared the golden boot award, netting 23 goals alongside his now-teammate Thabang Sesinyi. Kebatho's departure leaves a void in the team's attacking line-up, but Orapa United's Public Relations Officer, Amelton Gaefhele, expressed confidence in their new signing, Eric Ookame, who arrives from Eleven Angels. Ookame was introduced as an Ostriches player yesterday.

Gaefhele said Ookame has an impressive potential to make a mark at Orapa United, stating, "Kebatho is a senior player who is very experienced and knew how to get goals for us and we wish him the best in his new endeavours but Ookame has a great opportunity to be a better player at Orapa United." Gaefhele recognised that Ookame, at 22-years-old, faces the challenge of filling Kebatho's shoes, given Kebatho's status as the joint top scorer last season. However, Gaefhele cautioned against drawing direct comparisons between Ookame and Kebatho.
