Orlando Pirates legend Lucky Lekgwathi says Relebohile Mofokeng’s nominations for last season’s PSL Awards are well deserved.
The Royale Union Saint- Gilloise attacker enjoyed a successful 2025/26 Betway Premiership season with Pirates, helping them to four trophies that also included the league title.

The 21-year-old scored 10 goals and provided eight assists in 27 league matches while featuring eight times in domestic cups where he got one goal in the Carling Knockout Cup.
His exploits earned him four nominations – the PSL Footballer of the Season, Betway Premiership Players’ Player of the Season, Betway Premiership Midfielder of the Season and Betway Premiership Young Player of the Season (U21).
The former defender says Mofokeng remained consistent even after not winning the big accolade a season prior.
“I think Rele’s nominations, all of them are well deserved because of the good season he had,” Lekgwathi told iDiski Times.
“Last season he lost to [Lucas] Ribeiro in the Footballer of the Season category, and he didn’t lose confidence but continued working hard.
“I was looking at all the nominations they are well deserved and it will be a good send off for him [to Union].”
“Just imagine playing for another team, coming home to collect the awards, even player of the tournament for the Carling Knockout Cup with regards to [Mbekezeli] Mbokazi.”
The winners of the PSL Awards will be unveiled on Monday, July 27.
