Teenage sensation Relebohile Mofokeng is a professional footballer who currently plays for Orlando Pirates and the South African national football team.
At only 19-years-old, Mofokeng has already successfully established himself as a crucial player in any team, earning himself a senior call-up to Bafana Bafana.
The starlet scored the winning goal in the Nedbank Cup final earlier this year, and also found the back of the net in the MTN8 final which took place over last weekend.
He was voted the DStv Premiership Young Player of the Season and the Nedbank Cup Most Promising Player of the Tournament, which also saw him get called up to the national team.
So far, the teenager has played for the senior men’s team three times, and in 50 appearances for the three-peat champions Pirates, Mofokeng has scored nine goals and provided 10 assists.
Ahead of his 20th birthday which will arrive in the next week and a half, Mofokeng is set to be involved in the crucial AFCON qualifying matches against Congo.
