The departure of the youngster to Europe marks a significant moment for South African football, but his father believes it should be the start of a wider trend. Having seen his son secure a dream move to Belgian side Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, Sechaba Mofokeng is now calling on the nation's biggest clubs to step up their youth development.

The 25-year-old forward has secured a move away from the Premier Soccer League, joining Israeli outfit Kiryat Yam on a season-long loan. The Bafana Bafana international will be hoping to rediscover the clinical edge that once made him one of South Africa's most exciting attacking talents.

The former Orlando Pirates star arrives in Belgium with a burgeoning reputation following a breakout stint in the Premier Soccer League and a FIFA World Cup appearance with Bafana Bafana. However, a man who knows the Belgian landscape well has issued a stern reality check about the hurdles that lie ahead for the 21-year-old sensation.

The Amakhosi legend Jabu Mahlangu has delivered a blunt assessment of the club's current goalkeeping situation, suggesting that a clear-out is necessary following recent transfer activity. The arrival of Renaldo Leaner has left the Soweto giants’ goalkeeping department overstocked, prompting questions about who will survive the cut under new head coach Fernando Da Cruz.
