Pirates fans may only have seven games left to watch Mofokeng

Relebohile Mofokeng could be entering the final stretch of his Orlando Pirates career, with just seven matches potentially remaining in Buccaneers colours.

The 21-year-old playmaker has enjoyed a sensational rise since making his debut in 2023, contributing over 30 goals for the Soweto giants.

During that time, he has lifted six trophies and established himself as one of the standout performers in the Premier Soccer League.

After a slow start to the current campaign, Mofokeng found top form following the 2025 AFCON tournament. He has since been in scintillating touch, scoring nine goals in 2026 and adding three assists.

Mofokeng is Pirates best player by far

His performances have not gone unnoticed, earning him the Betway Premiership Player of the Month award for both February and March. He is now widely considered a leading contender for the PSL Player of the Season accolade.

The youngster headed into the FIFA international break on a high, netting his first senior hat-trick before following it up with a brace against Golden Arrows.

With only seven fixtures left this season for Pirates, speculation around his (Mofokeng) future continues to intensify. Mofokeng has been linked with moves abroad for the past two years, but no deal materialised.

However, after what is shaping up to be his best season yet, a move overseas now appears increasingly likely, especially with the FIFA World Cup on the horizon, which could further boost his value and visibility in Europe.

Speaking about his preferred role, Mofokeng highlighted where he feels most effective on the pitch.

“I think the style we play here at Pirates suits me as a number 10,” he said after Bucs 5-0 win over Golden Arrows.

“I’m not really someone who likes running a lot. I prefer operating in tight spaces.

“So I think the number 10 position is best for me. I can also play on the wing, but my strongest position is as a 10.”

Orlando Pirates supporters might not know it yet but this last seven games could very well be Mofokeng’s farewell tour as he is destined with a big move.

Which league should Rele move to?

NAIROBI, Kenya, April 8, 2026 – Kenya Pipeline women’s volleyball team coach Geoffrey Omondi has earmarked the Africa Club Championships in Egypt as the bare minimum for the national champions.

Omondi says the oil merchants are hungry for a seventh continental crown as are other Kenyan representatives.

“Speaking for Kenya Pipeline, we are determined to win the trophy. I know the other teams are determined as well. Whoever among us win the trophy, either way it will be back home. As Kenya Pipeline, we believe and hope we are the ones who will bring the trophy back home,” the tactician said.

Pipeline will be hoisting the Kenyan flag high, alongside local rivals Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) at the competition, set to serve off on April 11 (Saturday) to April 24.

Kenyan teams have historically enjoyed success on the continental stage.

Despite their six titles, Pipeline’s last continental glory came in 2005, with KCB the last Kenyan side to lift the crown in 2022.

The oil merchants finished third in the last edition of the competition in Abuja, Nigeria in April last year.

It was the third straight edition in which Pipeline finished on the podium, after securing silver in 2024 and 2023.

Super Falcons of Nigeria are set to face Cape Verde in a double-header international friendly during the April window at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne.

The two matches are scheduled for Wednesday, April 15, and Saturday, April 18. This follows the recent outings for Coach Justine Madugu’s side, who faced the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon in two friendlies during the last international break.

WAFCON 2026 preparation

These friendlies serve as vital preparation for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The tournament is now scheduled to begin in July, following its postponement from March.

Nigeria has been drawn into Group C alongside Zambia, Egypt, and fellow debutants Malawi. Meanwhile, Cape Verde will be making their maiden appearance in the biennial competition, having been drawn into Group D with Cameroon, Ghana, and Mali.

The WAFCON 2026 finals will also serve as the official qualifying tournament for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
