Former Orlando Pirates right winger Steve Lekoelea, who was known for his skill at taking free kicks, has stayed out of the public eye since he retired from football. A recent photo of him has now appeared on social media.

The picture was shared on Facebook on Monday. It shows Lekoelea, who was nicknamed "Chippa" during his playing days, wearing the colours of Hlanganani Masters, a side that plays in the Sebokeng Masters League. He was a big favourite among Pirates supporters during his time at the club, and the photo is a rare look at how he spends his time today.

Lekoelea is 47 years old and was born in Sebokeng. In the photo he is also seen with Molefi Nale, a former Monaco left winger who is known for his skill on the ball. The two played together during their careers.

Masters leagues are common in South African communities and give retired players a way to stay involved in the game. They are usually played for enjoyment and to keep in touch with old teammates, rather than as a professional career.

The post has led some fans to ask whether Lekoelea is living a good life after football, and where he ranks among the best right wingers to wear the black and white jersey in the PSL era. The photo alone does not say much about his personal circumstances, so those questions are left to opinion. Many supporters will have their own views, and the picture has brought back memories of a player who was well loved at the club.
