Sekhukhune United FC is finalizing a significant transfer deal with French Ligue 1 club OGC Nice for their standout defender, Vuyo Letlapa. The move, valued at over R20 million, includes a 30% sell-on clause, ensuring Sekhukhune benefits from any future sale of the promising left-back.
Letlapa’s impressive performances caught the attention of national team coaches, earning him a call-up to Bafana Bafana for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His defensive prowess and tireless runs down the left wing have impressed both domestically and internationally. After an eye-catching season with Jomo Cosmos in the National First Division, Letlapa’s journey with Sekhukhune United has paved the way for his next big step into European football.
The deal is being handled by the same agent responsible for bringing Glody Lilepo to Kaizer Chiefs earlier this year, further adding to the excitement around Letlapa’s move to Europe. The 21-year-old is expected to make an impact on the international stage, with his rise through the ranks of South African football marking the beginning of an exciting career.
Letlapa’s rapid progress, highlighted by his call-up to the national squad, shows just how far his dedication and hard work have taken him. The move to OGC Nice represents a significant milestone, both for Letlapa and South African football.
