Orlando Pirates on loan striker Zakhele Lepasa has revealed some of the lessons he's already picked up working under Gavin Hunt since his arrival at SuperSport United.
The 25-year-old sealed a loan switch to Matsatsantsa in a bid to see more playing time after enduring a frustrating first half of the season with the Buccaneers.

Over the years, Hunt has forged a reputation as a serial winner, lifting the Premiership title three consecutive times with Matsatsantsa and then with Wits.
Lepasa has revealed his early impressions of working with the multiple-Premiership title winner.
"To work hard," responded Lepasa when asked what he had learnt from from Hunt.
"We work extremely hard. Even today it was hard to push because yesterday we were running a hill for like an hour and we went to go play a friendly, same time.
"Normally, when these things happen you expect a day or two of rest where I come from [Pirates] but here you must still train and no one is sulking.
"It was hard to even run today but he [Hunt] pushes you, [and then] when you play you see how easy it becomes on the field."
"I see why when you look at the squad, maybe it's not as big as where I come from but when they play against b tea they still do well because of that because of the mentality of pushing yourself.
United are second place on the Premiership log table behind run away log-leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and will host Golden Arrows on Sunday.
