The veteran midfielder, however, is expecting a tougher 2024/25 season for Mofokeng.
This is going to be a very difficult season for Rele because as youve seen towards the end of last season, teams were planning (to stop him), said Makhaula during the Pirates jersey launch at Orlando Stadium on Monday. Pirates and adidas on Monday unveiled the new home and away jerseys for the 24/25 season as an ode to the Father of Soweto.
James Sofasonke Mpanza, born in 1889, was instrumental in forming Orlando Pirates in 1937. His vision and leadership laid the foundation for what has become one of the most successful and beloved football clubs in South Africa.
I think this season its going to be tough for him because teams will be focusing on him. Thats why Im saying that the (Mohau) Nkotas and other youngsters in the team, it would be nice of them to take the pressure off him, said Makhaula
Makhaula believes that Mofokengs big heart and maturity will help him overcome the obstacles that he will face this coming season.
