Orlando Pirates legend Doctor Khumalo has revealed his admiration for youngster Relebohile Mofokeng, particularly his ball-handling skills.
The 20-year-old attacker has been in a tremendous form this season for Orlando Pirates, scoring 11 goals and providing 13 assists in 42 appearances across competitions.
Mofokeng delivered a top-class performance during the March international break, helping South Africa to maintain their lead on the standings, with four matches to end the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
In an interview, Pirates legend expressed his admiration for Mofokeng’s play, particularly his ball-handling skills.
“We are not surprised that this young man performs the way he does. Look at that connection, the technique. Look at it – wow. At any moment, if I named 10 forwards, even the one standing to my right [Jerry Sikhosana], he wouldn’t finish like that.
Look at the body language, the technique with which he does it. You might think he’s standing and looking up. It’s very rare to find a player who finishes like that. The goalkeeper had no chance. He moved with the ball, a player who knows the keeper moves with the ball directed it back to where it came from. This is individual skill,” he said on SABC2.
