Orlando Pirates hot-shot Mbekezeli Mbokazi reveals he has license to 'do whatever' - 'I have no fear... I'm not afraid of anything'

Mbekezeli Mbokazi has proved his talent at Orlando Pirates despite playing just a couple of matches.

The most recent outing was on Saturday against Polokwane City in the Premier Soccer League.

The 19-year-old put up a man-of-the-match performance as Bucs claimed a vital 1-0 win at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

He has since explained why he has been solid for the Soweto giants.

"For me, it is sometimes easier to play with older players. For example, when I play along with [Nkosinathi Sibisi] or [Tapelo Xoki], it's easier for me because what boosts my self-belief is knowing that they will help me," he told the media.

"When I do the things I've been doing, I have no fear because I know if you play with fear, too many mistakes might happen. But because my teammates have given me the licence to say 'do whatever you to do,' that is what has helped me play with confidence.

"I'm not afraid of anything. My teammates are here, guiding me and everything becomes easier," Mbokazi concluded.

Bucs are chasing the Caf Champions League, Premier Soccer League and Nedbank Cup.

Mbokazi has shown he can be reliable regardless of the magnitude of the game.

He is now in Riveiro's plans, especially for the crucial Wednesday night's second leg of the Caf Champions League quarter-final outing.

With his showings, it will be unsurprising to see Mbokazi in the Bafana Bafana team in the next couple of months.

However, he has to keep his head down and avoid any distractions that may negatively impact him.
