Orlando Pirates star Lepasa urged to 'keep his feet on the ground' ahead of Soweto derby

Orlando Pirates stand-in coach Fadlu Davids has demanded consistency from forward Zakhele Lepasa ahead of Sunday’s MTN8 semi-final, second leg against Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium.

Lepasa was one of the stars of the reverse leg when he opened the scoring in the 3-0 thumping of Chiefs, with Vincent Pule and Thembinkosi Lorch contributing the other goals.

After joining Pirates from TS Galaxy at the beginning of last season, Lepasa is getting more game time this term.
