Mothibi views Nkota’s success as a beacon of hope for aspiring athletes from the Northern Cape, saying, “What Mohau is doing now will inspire others in his hometown to keep pushing and believe that anything is possible when opportunities like these arise.”

Supporting Young Talent Across the Region

Mothibi’s commitment to nurturing talent doesn’t end with Nkota.

He actively mentors other Northern Cape players like Ethan Visagie at Pirates and Raymond Daniels at Polokwane City.

Emphasizing the importance of respect and understanding the club’s culture, Mothibi noted, “I guide these young players about the club’s values and remind them to stay grounded.”

He also praised local clubs and coaches for their role in developing these players.

“We owe gratitude to Jomo Bonokwane from Kimberly’s Dalton Brothers FC, where Mohau started, and Mxolisi Mngomezulu and the Pirates development coaches for their hard work with these young talents,” Mothibi added.

A Bright Season Ahead for Orlando Pirates

With Mohau Nkota leading the way, Orlando Pirates are poised for a strong season.
