IN TOUCH WITH: THABISO KUTUMELA
28 May 2020
With nine goals scored and four assists, the 2019/ 20 season has been a fantastic one for Thabiso Kutumela.
Diminutive in stature but with a big heart and plenty of pace and skill, ‘Kutu’ has banged in five goals in the Absa Premiership, three in the Nedbank Cup and one in the Telkom Knockout.
On top of that, in March he received a call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad which had been set to do duty in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Thabiso also netted a couple of crucial goals in last season’s Play-offs.
The 26-year-old former Baroka and Orlando Pirates marksman has proven an outstanding acquisition by the Team of Choice. We caught up with him to find out how he’s been dealing with the lockdown:
