Bafana Bafana’s Elias Mokwana is making headlines as he prepares to head to Tunisia to finalize his transfer to Esperance Sportive de Tunis.
The talented winger, known for his speed and agility, is taking a significant step in his career by joining one of the biggest clubs in North Africa.
At just 24 years old, Mokwana has secured a three-year contract with Esperance.
This move comes after a standout performance that earned him a spot on the national team, Bafana Bafana.
Having made his debut in top-flight football only two years ago, Mokwana’s rise has been rapid and impressive.
His journey has been marked by consistent performances for Sekhukhune United, where he scored six goals and provided seven assists in 65 appearances.
These achievements caught the eye of several clubs, but it was Esperance that ultimately won the race to sign him.
Ready for the Big Stage
Upon his arrival in Tunisia, Mokwana will undergo a medical examination before officially joining his new team ahead of the upcoming season.
The transfer is seen as a major coup for Esperance, as they beat out competition from other clubs, including some from the DStv Premiership, to secure Mokwana’s services.
Beating Out the Competition
One of the clubs Mokwana turned down was South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs, a team coached by Nasreddine Nabi.
Despite the Chiefs’ interest, Sekhukhune United preferred the terms offered by Esperance, setting the stage for Mokwana to showcase his skills on a new platform.
The move will also give him the opportunity to play in the CAF Champions League next season, a prospect that has generated excitement among fans and analysts alike.
A Bright Future Ahead
Mokwana, affectionately nicknamed “Kiddeo,” has already made his mark on the international stage.
He debuted for Bafana Bafana in friendly matches played in March and also featured in recent FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
His progress will undoubtedly be closely monitored by Bafana coach Hugo Broos and fans who are eager to see how Mokwana’s career unfolds at Esperance.
As Mokwana embarks on this new chapter, the football world watches with anticipation, eager to see how this young talent will continue to develop and make his mark on the international stage.
