Sekhukhune United coach Seema impressed with Orlando Pirates loanee Otladisa but insists 'he can still do more'

Sekhukhune United advanced to the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup with a solid 2-0 victory over Cape Town City.

Goals from Relebogile Mokhuoane and Katlego Otladisa secured the win, with the latter's performance continuing to draw attention as he redeems himself under the guidance of coach Lehlohonolo Seema.

Speaking after the game, Seema expressed satisfaction with Otladisa's contribution but emphasized the importance of hard work and consistency.

He also highlighted the competitive nature of the squad and the positive energy from back-to-back victories.

With this momentum, Sekhukhune United remain a challenging force in domestic football.

“I think he can still do more and what I like is if he is playing on the left we normally have Keletso Makgalwa on that side. I'm happy for Otladisa and I think there are a lot of players that did well,” Seema told the media as reported by Sowetan.

“But he [Otladisa] knows that he needs to work hard, Keletso is still waiting, there are other players outside and some are still recovering from injury. We are trying to create that competition and I'm happy for him and he needs to keep working hard.

“Last week, it [defeat to Chiefs] showed us that we can lose any time and it was not easy. But the only positive thing that we all agreed on is that last week we didn't have a good game as a team.

“It's always nice when you keep on winning and the players' confidence will come. We will continue to work hard and remain humble because there is still a long way to go. We've only played 13 matches [in the league].”

Sent out on loan after struggling for consistent game time at Orlando Pirates, Otladisa now has the perfect opportunity to shine at Sekhukhune United.

Under Seema's mentorship, he can prove his worth through hard work, maintain his momentum, and help the team achieve success.

Whether it's a recall to the Buccaneers or a permanent stay with Babina Noko, the winger holds his fate in his own hands.

This loan spell could be pivotal in reigniting his career at the highest level.

Focus switches to the league as Sekhukhune welcome Stellenbosch.

Babina Noko are in position four with 23 points.
