At just 20 years old, Relebohile Mofokeng has reached a monumental
milestone, making his 100th appearance for Orlando Pirates in their match
against TS Galaxy. This achievement cements his place in the history of the
Soweto giants at an astonishingly young age.
Mofokeng’s journey began in May 2023, debuting under the surname Ratomo in a
draw against Royal AM. He swiftly announced his arrival on the big stage,
registering a goal and an assist in a dominant 4-0 victory over AmaZulu just
two games later. From that point, his trajectory has been one of relentless
ascent.
In under three seasons, the Orlando-born attacker has compiled a stunning
resume: 100 games, 18 goals, and 23 assists, all while helping the Pirates
secure five trophies. His rapid rise is marked not just by numbers, but by
his profound influence on the pitch, where he has become a cornerstone of
the team’s attack.
What truly sets Mofokeng apart is the maturity and responsibility he
carries—traits that defy his youth. He has repeatedly proven his worth as
one of South Africa’s elite talents, whether by breaking down stubborn
defences or delivering match-winning performances in high-stakes cup ties.
Reaching a century of games by his 20th birthday is just the opening
chapter. For the Buccaneers faithful, Mofokeng’s explosive start is a
thrilling promise of many more goals, assists, and trophies to come from a
player destined to become a legend both at home and abroad.
