Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has revealed what he told 18-year-old Kutlwano Letlhaku before his match-winning brace against Polokwane City.
The teenager got his first goals in the Betway Premiership as the Brazilians defeated Rise and Shine 2-0 on Wednesday night.

Mngqithi reveals he told Letlhaku he would score before explaining the decision to start the teenager.
"It's strange in football because sometimes we look like soothsayers," the coach told SuperSport after the game.
"I told him he's going to score two goals today, because I had that feeling that in that side of [Tlou] Nkwe, [Lebohang Nkaki], there's gonna be something that is going to open for us.
"If we've got somebody who is dynamic. I could have gone for a more established player but I thought I needed somebody who is willing to take risks. "
"First-half he could have taken three shots but because he's a young boy, he's got respect, he only opened up after he scored."
Sundowns will now turn their attention to Sunday's Carling Knockout semi-final against Marumo Gallants.
