All eyes will be on Relebohile Mofokeng when Bafana Bafana host Kenya on Friday evening in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Mofokeng has enjoyed an impressive start to life at Royal Union Saint-Gilloise since joining the Belgian outfit in July. In the four months since his arrival, the 22-year-old has scored five goals and provided three assists for his new club.
His impressive club form has also translated to the international stage, with the talented attacker scoring a brace in Bafana’s previous qualifier against Eritrea.
Why Mofokeng will be the main man for Bafana
Mofokeng has continued to showcase his quality and maturity since leaving Orlando Pirates. He is now regarded as one of the most exciting young talents on the continent.
Friday’s encounter will also be a special occasion for the attacker as he returns to the Orlando Amstel Arena, where he spent four years representing the Buccaneers before making his big move to Belgium.
His creativity, flair and ability to unlock opposition defences will be crucial for Hugo Broos’ side. With supporters expected to turn out in numbers, Mofokeng is likely to receive a special reception from the crowd.
The young attacker remains a fan favourite, and his every touch could be greeted with excitement from the stands.
Mofokeng has scored just two goals for Bafana Bafana so far, but he will be eager to add to that tally against Kenya. Having already found his scoring touch in the previous qualifier, he will be determined to make another statement on the international stage.
