Former Kaizer Chiefs and South Africa international midfielder Reneilwe “Yeye” Letsholonyane is set to join Castle Lager Premier Soccer League champions FC Platinum as assistant coach to fellow South African Thabo Senong. The former Bafana Bafana midfielder is reportedly in Zvishavane to complete the move ahead of the new football season, with an official announcement expected after work permit and employment processes are completed.
Letsholonyane recently parted ways with Botswana Premier League side Matebele FC, where he had been serving in a coaching role. His departure has paved the way for the reported move to Zimbabwe, where he is expected to become part of FC Platinum’s new technical team as the club prepares for the remainder of the season.
The former South African international is expected to work alongside Thabo Senong once both coaches receive their work permits. The required immigration and employment documentation is currently being processed before they can officially begin their duties with the Zimbabwean champions.

While the paperwork is being finalised, FC Platinum’s training sessions will continue under the supervision of Alexio Sigion and Moses Mwafulirwa. The two have taken charge of preparations following the departure of former head coach Joel Luphahla and will remain in that role until the new coaching team is cleared to assume responsibility.
The expected appointment of Letsholonyane is set to strengthen FC Platinum’s technical department with an experienced football figure who enjoyed a long and successful playing career. His arrival forms part of the club’s ongoing restructuring of its technical bench under new leadership.
During his playing career, Letsholonyane represented several clubs in South African football, including Kaizer Chiefs, Bloemfontein Celtic and SuperSport United. He also earned numerous appearances for the South African national team, Bafana Bafana, where he established himself as one of the country’s experienced midfielders.
FC Platinum has been making changes to its technical department as it prepares for the challenges ahead in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League. The reported appointments of Thabo Senong and Reneilwe Letsholonyane are part of those plans as the club looks to begin a new chapter under a refreshed coaching structure.
The Zimbabwe champions are waiting for the completion of immigration and employment procedures before confirming the appointments. Until that process is concluded, the club’s interim technical staff will continue overseeing training and player preparations.
An official announcement regarding Letsholonyane’s appointment is expected once all necessary documentation has been approved. The move would see the former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder begin a new coaching role in Zimbabwe and reunite with fellow South African Thabo Senong on the FC Platinum technical bench.
The expected arrival of Reneilwe “Yeye” Letsholonyane has attracted attention in both Zimbabwean and South African football because of his experience as a former Kaizer Chiefs player and Bafana Bafana international. If confirmed after the completion of work permit requirements, the appointment will mark another step in FC Platinum’s technical restructuring as the club prepares for the remainder of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season under its new coaching leadership.
