Elias Mokwana has been turning heads in North African football ever since his move to Esperance Sportive de Tunis.
The Bafana Bafana winger has delivered one standout performance after another, earning praise from fans and analysts alike.
His skill and consistency have sparked ongoing speculation about his next career move, with many wondering if he will one day join Kaizer Chiefs.
The Transfer That Almost Happened
Before sealing his move to Tunisia, Mokwana was heavily linked with Kaizer Chiefs.
The Soweto giants had their eyes set on the talented winger, and even Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr. confirmed that an official offer was submitted to Sekhukhune United.
However, despite the strong interest, the deal never materialized, and Mokwana had to explore other opportunities.
That said, he has not ruled out the possibility of one day donning the famous black and gold jersey.
A Childhood Dream Still Alive
Mokwana has never hidden his admiration for Kaizer Chiefs.
Growing up, he watched Amakhosi dominate South African football, inspiring him to dream of one day playing for the club.
So when Chiefs officially expressed interest, the moment felt surreal.
“Eish, this one’s going to put me in trouble,” Mokwana joked, speaking to iDiski Times.
“To tell you the truth, my father was an Orlando Pirates fan, and I was a Chiefs fan—now you can see.”
Could Mokwana Join Chiefs in the Future?
Although he is currently excelling in Tunisia, Mokwana remains open to the idea of joining Kaizer Chiefs one day.
He admitted that he was excited when the club first showed interest and believes the door isn’t closed just yet.
“When they said (Kaizer) Chiefs wanted me, I was happy.
Unfortunately, it never happened, but the dream is still there. In the future, I might go.”
What’s Next for Mokwana?
For now, Mokwana continues to shine at Esperance, proving himself as one of the most exciting young talents in African football.
His pace, skill, and vision make him a key player for the Tunisian giants, and he remains focused on his growth and success in North Africa.
Despite his current path, Chiefs fans still hold onto hope that one day, he will return to South Africa to fulfill his childhood dream.
As he continues to develop and make a name for himself internationally, only time will tell if he will eventually make his way to Naturena.
