Orlando Pirates DStv Diski Challenge head coach Joseph Makhanya says winger Relebohile Mofokeng has got a great balance where one would swear, he was made up like on Play Station.
The 20-year-old came from the hands of Makhanya into the first team two seasons ago and has consistently been impressive for the club that he helped win trophies in his tenure so far. Mofokeng has also been impressive when called up and selected for the senior national team.

Makhanya spoke to iDiski Times senior writer Matshelane Mamabolo in edition 200 of the newspaper where he mentioned how Mofokeng has different elements that reminds the coach of attacking players from his generation that make the youngster a whole package.
“He reminds me of a lot of Pirates players from my generation,” Makhanya told iDiski Times.
“I look at him and he has aspects of most of those offensive players I played with – he has a bit of Steve [Lekoelea], Cheesy [Lebohang Mokoena] and Teko [Modise]. To me, Rele is like that player created from a play-station game, you know how you make a player up by picking certain aspects that you like from each of those.
“He does not look like it, but he’s got great balance; how he sees the game and his anticipation is something else. He sees things before they happen, he’s a good visualiser and his skills and ability to take players on are second to none.”
