Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi has made an admission of having enjoyed playing with rising starlet and former club teammate Relebohile Mofokeng who he reckons is destined for bigger things.
The two played together at Pirates for three seasons between 2023 and 2026 and last season helped the side complete a domestic treble that included the Betway Premiership title.

They’ve both made moves abroad this term with ‘Tito’ on the books of Al Khalidiyah in the Bahrain Premier League and Mofokeng with Royale Union SG in Belgium where he has already made a good impression.
Speaking to the South African Football Journalists Association (SAFJA) on Monday, Tito raved about the 2026 SAFJA Men’s Footballer of the Year’s qualities adding that he’s also told him to consider signing for Maswanganyi’s favourite English side Arsenal.
“I think when I got to Pirates, Rele was already in the first team because he had played games before I came to Orlando Pirates,” said Tito.
“I would say for me playing with him, it was very amazing, and you know I’ve always enjoyed seeing him on the ball.
“You know, from training, he’s been great, and from what he’s achieved, it’s a very big thing for his age. I think he’s someone who’s been humble, someone who listens and someone who knows what to do with the ball.
“He’s a great footballer, and I believe that he is going to be something big for South Africa, and I think he’s in the right place. And I’ve also told him not to sign for any team than Arsenal because we need him at Arsenal.”
