Lerato Chabangu ready to make a comeback
Ex-Bafana star Lerato Chabangu felt betrayed when family forced him into rehab
“In the initial stages of my arrival here, as an adult capable of making my own life choices, I felt a profound sense of betrayal from both my family and the centre itself, as I did not consent to this arrangement,” Lerato Chabangu said.
“However, as time elapsed, I came to realise that this was in my best interest. I have learnt an immense amount during my stay here, and I believe I am now prepared to re-enter society and make a positive contribution to the youth.”
Financial mismanagement
“As a young man, I harboured dreams and pursued them diligently. I have made substantial contributions to South African football, yet the manner in which my career concluded is unfortunate due to my reckless behaviour off the field, which ultimately derailed my life,” he lamented.
“Despite my initial resentment towards being brought to this centre against my will, I have come to understand that the decision was indeed the right one, as this recovery endeavour aligns with my sincere desire to seek forgiveness from my fans for disappointing them as their role model.”
