FARPost has established that Motsepe Foundation Championship side Black Leopards have roped in Sundra Govinder and Duncan Lechesa as the new co-coaches.
Their arrival follows the departure of Mabhuti Khenyeza, who had taken over from Joel Masutha in the early stages of the season.
However, the former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns striker did not achieve the desired results and recently parted ways with the club.
FARPost had reported last week that former AmaZulu FC coach Brandon Truter was in negotiations with the club.
Truter was earmarked to take over as the technical advisor to Khenyeza, but the move fell through.
Khenyeza was not on the bench when Leopards lost 2-0 to Gomora United at the Malamulele Stadium over the weekend. Instead, team manager and assistant coach Abel Makhubele was in charge.
BLACK LEOPARDS ROPE IN DUNCAN LECHESA AND SUNDRA GOVINDER
This publication has since established that the club has now appointed Govender and Duncan Lechesa as co-coaches. The two are not strangers, having worked together at Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants.
While Govinder resigned from Gallants in July, Lechesa had been serving as an assistant to Alexandre Lafitte.
The pair are expected to start working at the Limpopo club on Monday afternoon at the club’s training grounds in Polokwane.

The pair have a huge task ahead of them. They take over at a Leopards side that is rooted at the bottom of the Motsepe Foundation Championship log.
Their first match will be at home when they host Hungry Lions on Sunday, 1 March. Leopards have collected just 12 points from their 17 matches played so far.
