Relebohile Mofokeng, the talented winger for Orlando Pirates, is receiving an exciting reward from the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture, and Recreation.

This recognition follows his impressive achievement of being named the Gauteng Sport Awards Personality of the Year in November 2024.

Mofokeng Outshines Major Competitors for the Prestigious Award

Mofokeng, 20, beat out some major names for this honor, including African 100m record holder Akani Simbine, UFC champion Dricus Du Plessis, two-time Olympic gold medalist Tatjana Schoenmaker, and even his Bafana Bafana captain, Ronwen Williams.

It’s a significant achievement that highlights his talent and dedication.

The Young Star Will Receive a Car as His Prize

As part of his recognition, Mofokeng will be gifted a brand-new car.

The handover will take place on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, in Roodepoort, with the ceremony set to be attended by MEC Matome Chiloane.

The car is sponsored by Joma Sport, further marking the young player’s achievement.

A Stellar 2024 Season for Mofokeng

Mofokeng’s 2024 season has been nothing short of exceptional.

Not only did he help Orlando Pirates win two trophies, but he also made his first appearance for Bafana Bafana, after impressing coach Hugo Broos with his performance.

The winger has already scored twice in 14 league matches this season, and he played a key role in securing the MTN8 title, even scoring in the final.

What’s Next for Mofokeng?

With his standout performances, Mofokeng has caught the eye of top European clubs, and rumors suggest that he may make a move after the 2024/25 season.

But for now, he will enjoy the recognition he deserves for his hard work and commitment on and off the field.
