Orbit College FC captain Atisang Batsi has showered praise on winger Monnapule Saleng following his impressive performance in their recent 1-1 draw against Marumo Gallants. The match, held on Saturday, saw Saleng shine brightly, earning him the Man of the Match award and his first assist of the season.

Batsi believes Saleng's display signifies his complete return to form, a welcome sign after weeks of scrutiny. Head coach Pogiso Makhoye had previously expressed that Saleng, on loan from Orlando Pirates, hadn't yet met expectations since joining the team.

Speaking at the Carling Knockout launch in Johannesburg on Monday, Batsi expressed his confidence that Saleng has turned a corner. "I’m happy that in our previous match, Saleng got Man of the Match. Really, the boy is back, according to me. When he first started with the team, it had been a while since he last played. We were supporting him to get game time. But now, looking at his recent performance, the boy is back. Going forward, it’s going to help this team through our support,” he said.

Orbit College will be relying on Saleng's continued resurgence as they aim to climb the league table and make a significant impact in the Carling Knockout competition. The team is looking to capitalise on the momentum and build on their recent performance.
