Ex-Moroka Swallows coach adamant celebrating Orlando Pirates' Relebohile Mofokeng 'shows how Mzansi is starved' & promises he 'could fix and turn things around' at Kaizer Chiefs

Relebohile Mofokeng has been hitting greater heights not only for Orlando Pirates but also for Bafana Bafana.

He recently scored his maiden international goal for the country in the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.

The 20-year-old has been tipped to hit even greater heights by joining one of the best teams in future.

As Mofokeng continues to do well for the Buccaneers, Kaizer Chiefs are struggling to get back to the top.

The Glamour Boys are currently struggling to finish in the top eight on the Premier Soccer League table.

However, they can still end the season with a trophy since they have made it to the Nedbank Cup semi-final, where they are scheduled to play Mamelodi Sundowns.

Former Moroka Swallows coach Zeca Marques, who is currently heading Black Leopards, believes he can turn Amakhosi's fortunes around.

He has further explained why the country should get another Mofokeng.

“He’s just a youngster that is currently being highlighted, but he needs to prove himself," he said, as quoted by SNL24.

If a player like Mofokeng is dominating every discussion, it indicates a problem. We are celebrating one player in a country that has hundreds of footballers. It shows just how starved we are for players with a wow factor.

“Kaizer Chiefs. I believe I could fix it and turn things around. It would be an opportunity to do something special," Marques concluded.

Mzansi has seen many young players crop up in the ongoing campaign; the latest one is from Pirates, defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi.

It is highly unlikely that Chiefs will let Nabi leave this season, but if he struggles in the new campaign, he might be shown the exit door, and who knows, Marques might get his chance.
