Lehlohonolo Seema has found a new home just a month after his departure from Betway Premiership side Sekhukhune United.
Seema has been appointed as the senior coach of Lesotho side Bantu FC with immediate effect.
The former Polokwane City FC mentor, Seema, will work together with Bantu head coach Charles Manda for the remainder of the season.
Seema is no stranger to the club as he was approached by Bantu just two weeks after cutting ties with Babina Noko. He was asked to help the team in the People’s Cup final. At that time, he had yet to be officially offered a specific role at the Lesotho Premier League outfit.
It only took the ex-Orlando Pirates defender three days to prepare the team for the People’s Cup tournament final. The final was played on Saturday, 15 March 2025. With the help of coach Seema, Bantu went on to win the People’s Cup after defeating Matlama FC 1-0 at Mants’onyane.
As things stand, Bantu are placed third in the Lesotho Premier League table with 50 points after 24 matches. They are seven points behind the log leaders Lioli FC.
