This development highlights the increasing visibility of Lesotho football and the opportunities available for its players in neighboring South Africa.
While Letsema, Sera, and Mokhele are making their mark in the top tier, several other Likuena teammates continue to compete in the Motsepe Championship and the ABC Motsepe League. This expanding network of players across various levels of competition underscores the rich talent pool in Lesotho.
