A buzz of excitement filled the air as Relebohile Mofokeng of Orlando Pirates celebrated his birthday recently.

Among the many well-wishers was Mfundo Vilakazi from Kaizer Chiefs, who made a heartfelt gesture on social media to honor his fellow player.

The online community quickly joined in, showering Mofokeng with warm birthday wishes, making the day even more memorable.

Social Media Cheers

The official Kaizer Chiefs account took to social media, posting, “Wishing our #38 Relebohile Mofokeng a very Happy Birthday!”

Similarly, Goal South Africa chimed in with their own shoutout, saying, “20 unlocked! Happy Birthday, Rele!”

The posts sparked a wave of birthday greetings from fans, legends, and fellow players, creating a joyful atmosphere online.

A Sweet Celebration

Mfundo Vilakazi, the Kaizer Chiefs teen sensation, added a personal touch by sharing a fun clip of him and Mofokeng enjoying some ice cream together.

In a now-deleted Instagram Story, the two friends were all smiles, capturing a light-hearted moment off the pitch.

Vilakazi tagged Mofokeng and added a cake emoji to the post, which quickly went viral, gathering thousands of comments and reactions from fans who appreciated the camaraderie between the players.

Age and Achievements

As fans celebrated Mofokeng’s milestone, some took the opportunity to reflect on his age.

Born on October 23, 2004, in Sharpeville, South Africa, the young star turned 20.

His journey in football began at the Transnet School of Excellence, and he gained attention a few months ago when photos of him in a Mamelodi Sundowns jersey circulated online.

However, it was later clarified that he had played for a team that donned that jersey.

Before joining Orlando Pirates, he played for Amandl/Vaal Juventus FC.

He joined the Orlando Pirates Youth Academy in 2022 and quickly ascended to the senior team the following year.

Since then, he has established himself as a prominent figure in the club, even making headlines in 2023 for his trials with English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves).

With several European clubs reportedly keeping an eye on him, the future looks bright for Mofokeng.
