He said to be selected to undergo soccer trials at Sundowns is one of his football career highlight that he would forever cherish.
Kekana role model is Anthony “Lahlumleze “Laffor.
“I emulate my style of play to Laffor style whom I’m playing in the same position he plays at Downs.
“At Sundowns I’m learning more about soccer and I’m working tirelessly on my weakness which is goal scoring.
“My strength is to create goal scoring opportunities for my teammate but nowadays goals are scored by all those who are featured in the soccer pitch.
“That help to relieve enormous pressure that is often curried solely by our strikers,” said Kekana.
He urges PSL teams to organised soccer tournaments in the townships so that they can unearth abundance of untapped township soccer talent.
