Maximising Relebohile Mofokeng's Impact: Strategic Use Needed By Orlando Pirates

One of the standout players in the Betway Premiership this season has undoubtedly been Relebohile Mofokeng for Orlando Pirates .

The 20-year-old has been a revelation for Pirates since winning the 2023/2024 PSL Young Player of the Year, and by all accounts, Mofokeng has been even better this season.

Mofokeng has also been producing the goods for Bafana Bafana , scoring in their FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lesotho, which South Africa won 2-0.

With Pirates aiming to catch Mamelodi Sundowns at the top of the league table, the conclusion to the season is set for an intriguing climax. Though Pirates are 15 points behind Sundowns, they do have four games in hand.

Balancing game time: Why Pirates should rotate Mofokeng to avoid burnout

The temptation would therefore be for Pirates to play Mofokeng as much as possible, but according to former Bucs forward Andries Sebola, this is something they must resist.
