Two-time Rugby World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi gave praise to Orlando Pirates youngster Relebohile Mofokeng.
The 20-year-old winger has been exceptional since making his debut for the Buccaneers three seasons ago. Having won five trophies already, Mofokeng ranks as one of the top five PSL players currently.
Springbok captain Siya Kolisi spoke about Mofokeng after the match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Pirates which ended 4-1 in favour of the Brazilians.
“It’s amazing I am already hearing people overseas are interested in him,” Kolisi told fans on AmaFansWethu channel.
“That is what we want, it is why PSL is so special. PSL is special because it creates platforms for all of us who come from backgrounds that there was no way you thought these opportunities would come.
“It also shows once you take your opportunity, once you have been given, how hard he is working.”
Siya Kolisi proud of Pirates’ Rele Mofokeng
The Springboks captain expressed his desire to see the Bucs star feature more in the national team.
“You also going to say, what Pirates have done is good because he is obviously where he is so I am proud of him and I can’t wait to see what he can do in a Bafana jersey,” added Kolisi.
“We are going to see what he is going to do there and hopefully he(Mofokeng) can chip in,” Siya Kolisi added.
Relebohile Mofokeng has eight goals and 11 assists for Orlando Pirates this season across all competitions and has already won the MTN8 trophy.
Should Mofokeng feature more in the national team or should remain as a sub?
