Former Kaizer Chiefs transfer target completes a treble in Nasreddine Nabi's country as Bafana Bafana star Elias Mokwana's Esperance Sportive de Tunis clinch Tunisian Cup

Esperance beat Stade Tunisien 1-0 to win the Tunisian Cup at Stade Olympique Hammadi-Agrebi on Sunday.

Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana was an unused substitute, but his side went on to claim the biggest knockout competition in Tunisian football.

Sunday's Tunisian Cup triumph saw Esprance completing a treble this season and decorating Mokwana in his debut term for the Blood and Gold.

They also won the Ligue 1 and the Tunisian Super Cup.

This comes as Mokwana left the Premier Soccer League without winning any major trophy.

When taking stock of his maiden season in North Africa, Mokwana might be satisfied by how he quickly adjusted and made himself a regular.

He featured in 34 matches for Esperance across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.

That has seen him maintain his Bafana Bafana position and if he continues on that path, he is likely to go to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals.

With Esperance having now completed their domestic duties of the 2024/25 season, they are now preparing for this June's Fifa Club World Cup.

At this tournament, Mokwana joins other South African players based in North Africa like Thembinkosi Lorch and Cassius Mailula of Wydad.
