Former Orlando Pirates skipper Lekgwathi has explained how having a solid group of senior players around him was key to the remarkable success the Sea Robbers enjoyed a decade ago.
The tough-tackling defender can list himself among the club's most successful captains, having skippered them to six trophies - including two league titles - in two seasons (2010/11 and 2011/12) under coach Ruud Krol.
In fact, 2012 was the last time the Sea Robbers won the league title, and they have only managed two trophies since: the 2014 Nedbank Cup, and the 2020 MTN8, which they won in December last year after beating Bloemfontein Celtic.
