Lebitso graduates with wifey
If there was a DStv Premiership couple goals award for this week, it would have to go to Thabiso and Reitumetse Nathane Lebitso.
The 31-year-old baller is clearly thinking about life after his football career after obtaining a qualification from the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT).
A night before that graduation, the well-rounded star featured in the Chilli Boys' 3-2 against Richards Bay in Durban, a relegation six-pointer to celebrate going into his grad.

Mrs Lebitso on the other hand already holds a Sports Management qualification, adding another feather to her graduation cap with a Supply Chain Logistics degree.
Plenty of congratulations were in order for the couple, with Chippa United's conditioning coach Lisa Smiles congratulating the winger on the dedication he showed en-route to obtaining his qualification from TUT:
"If you ever saw this guy at the airport, he was always with his laptop, studying or submitting assignments. He never complained about his workload, never skipped out at training, gym and doing extras. And now he's a #grad.
"@thabisolebitso Congratulations Student-Athlete," wrote Smiles on her Instagram story.
As well as posting a special graduation cake, Mrs Lebitso took to IG to look back on the year the two stared dating in 2019, to them becoming graduates together in 2023.
