Before the FA Cup loss, VTM had also lost ground in the race for promotion after a shocking defeat to Tlokweng United a fortnight ago. Interestingly, Olebile joined VTM in November last year, replacing Tshireletso with the club saying he did not have the necessary qualifications to lead a second-tier club.
