The Tragic Life Of Sa Football Icon Steve Mokone: From Barcelona Pioneer To Convicted Abuser

After a string of standout performances, 20-year-old Relebohile Mofokeng has become the name on everyones lips, with reports linking the Orlando Pirates star to a potential move to Spanish giants Barcelona .

His latest display, a match-winning brace against reigning league champions Mamelodi Sundowns , has only intensified speculation about his future.

Mofokeng scored twice in Pirates 2-1 win over Sundowns on Sunday . His first goal was after a beautiful lay-off by striker Evidence Makgopa, while his second was a well-placed shot beyond Ronwen Williams in the Sundowns net.

Both goals were scored in the first five minutes of the encounter, and Ezimnyama Ngenkani esikaMagebhula were able to hold on for a famous win and reignited the title race.

Because Mokone never played senior football locally, he remains largely unknown to many South African supporters.
