Lucky Lekgwathi, an Orlando Pirates legend, recently highlighted a key personality trait that Mofokeng has inherited from his coach and fellow legend, Joseph Makhanya.
Mofokeng, at just 19 years old, has had an incredible season with the Sea Robbers.
His impressive performance on the field, with five goals and six assists in 38 appearances, has earned him a spot in the Bafana Bafana squad.
This young winger from Sharpeville has quickly become a crucial player for the Buccaneers.
Lekgwathi attributes Mofokeng’s success to his positive discipline both on and off the field.
He believes this discipline was instilled in him by his DDC coach, Joseph Makhanya.
Makhanya, who himself learned these qualities from Augusto Palacious, has passed down the same virtues to Mofokeng.
According to Lekgwathi, Makhanya’s influence is evident in Mofokeng’s humble and hardworking nature.
The Influence of Joseph Makhanya
In a recent interview with FARPost, Lekgwathi praised Mofokeng’s attitude, saying, “Everyone likes him; you can see he’s a humble boy, and he’s always smiling.”
He emphasized how Mofokeng’s willingness to follow instructions and his humility are a testament to Makhanya’s guidance.
Lekgwathi drew parallels between Mofokeng and Makhanya, noting their shared traits of discipline and humility.
A Bright Future Ahead
Lekgwathi urged Mofokeng to maintain his current character, highlighting the importance of staying humble and hardworking for a long and successful football career.
“He mustn’t change his attitude,” Lekgwathi advised.
He pointed out that many talented players lose their way due to a lack of discipline and humility, but with the right mindset, Mofokeng could achieve great things.
Eyes on the Horizon
As Mofokeng continues to make waves in the football world, his former coach’s assessment of his potential for an international move adds to the excitement.
With his current trajectory, the future looks bright for this young talent.
