South Africa president Ramaphosa praises Rulani Mokwena for impressive work at Pyramids FC

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has praised Rulani Mokwena for his impressive work at Egyptian giants Pyramids FC, revealing that he has been following the coach’s progress with great interest.

Ramaphosa met with Mokwena on the sidelines of the international friendly between Egypt and South Africa at Cairo International Stadium, where the Bafana Bafana secured a 1-0 victory.

Mokwena, accompanied by members of his technical team, attended the match before meeting the South African president, who used the opportunity to commend his compatriot for the progress he has made since taking charge of Pyramids.

Ramaphosa expressed his happiness with Mokwena’s achievements in Egypt, particularly the club’s rise to the summit of the Egyptian Premier League.

The president told the coach that he is currently in charge of one of the leading clubs in both Egypt and Africa, and praised the development Pyramids have experienced under his leadership.

Ramaphosa also stressed that Mokwena’s progress is being followed closely back home, with many South Africans proud of what the young coach is accomplishing outside the country.

He encouraged Mokwena to maintain his upward trajectory and continue building on the progress made with Pyramids.

Mokwena has established himself as one of the prominent South African coaches working outside the country, with his move to Egypt providing him with an opportunity to test himself in one of Africa’s most competitive football environments.

His work at Pyramids has attracted increasing attention, with the club challenging strongly at the top end of the Egyptian Premier League and establishing itself among the continent’s leading sides.

The meeting with Ramaphosa therefore provided a significant moment for Mokwena, as the South African president personally acknowledged his achievements and the impact he is making on the continental stage.

For Mokwena, the recognition from the country’s president adds another notable chapter to his growing coaching career as he continues to lead Pyramids in their domestic and continental ambitions.
