Glody Makabi Lilepo, known as Lollipop (born 27 July 1997) is a Congolese professional footballer who plays for South African club Kaizer Chiefs and the Democratic Republic of the Congo national team.
Early career
Lilepo came up from the youth ranks of AS Vita Club but never made it into the first team or saw any Linafoot playing time.[1] In late 2018 he was invited to trials at Zamalek SC of the Egyptian Premier League.[2] In January 2019, after a two-month wait for the paperwork to be finalized, he was loaned to Mbabane Swallows for the 2018–19 Eswatini Premier League season.[3][4] Halfway through the 2019–20 Linafoot season, Lilepo joined FC Renaissance du Congo. He made an immediate impact scoring four goals in his first seven matches with the club.[1] By 2021 Lilepo had returned to AS Vita and appeared for the club in the 2020–21 CAF Champions League.[5]
Kaizer Chiefs
On 27 January 2025, Lilepo joined Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[6] On 7 February, Lilepo scored his first goal for the soweto side in his second match against Stellenbosch.
