Letsie Koapeng (born 12 January 1992) is a South African soccer player who played as a forward for eight different clubs in the South African Premier Division.
Koapeng spent his early career in the Bidvest Wits, making his first-tier debut in the 2010–11 South African Premier Division for Santos. [1] For the 2013–14 season, he went on loan to Bloemfontein Celtic, but did not break into the team. [2] He also spent time on loan at Chippa United before being released by Bidvest Wits in the summer of 2014. He subsequently trained with Mpumalanga Black Aces, [3] but ended up joining one of South Africa's biggest clubs, Orlando Pirates. [4]
He mostly played in the Diski Challenge Shield for the Buccaneers, and was also loaned out to the Royal Eagles for a two-month duration. In the summer of 2016, he trained with Cape Town City and Cape Town All Stars before being released by Orlando Pirates in September. [5] [6]
In the 2016–17 season, he first went to Stellenbosch before moving to Cape Town City in the 2017 winter transfer window. [7] The Citizens' manager Eric Tinkler had previously brought Koapeng into the Bidvest Wits academy, and was also behind Koapeng's earlier transfer to Stellenbosch. [8] He joined Platinum Stars in the 2017–18 season, but experienced relegation with that club. [9] [10] [11] He played the next season for Cape Umoya United. Being a free agent in 2019, he trained with Moroka Swallows. [12] In 2021 he went from Jomo Cosmos to Marumo Gallants. [13] He was thus part of Marumo Gallants' run in CAF competitions. [1] Koapeng then began the 2023–24 season with Richards Bay, but in the winter window of 2024 he signed for Moroka Swallows, who completely rebuilt their squad. [14]
