Pitso Mosimane Youth Football finishes 2026 season in winning fashion
The club won all four of their matches.
Tsakani – Pitso Mosimane Youth Football Club (PMYF) dominated Joburg City FC during matches on November 7 at Tsakani Stadium, securing victories in all four division matches under the auspices of the Gauteng Development League.
PMYF collected 12 points from their final four matches of the 2026 season. Adding to the celebrations, the club also produced the league’s top scorer, Mikhulu Booi.
The 19-year-old captain scored two goals in Saturday’s match and another five in the previous match, bringing his season tally to 29 goals.
Speaking to African Reporter, Booi said he was happy with the achievement, adding that being part of the club presented a great opportunity for the players.
“I feel scrumptious; I am very happy. It is a great opportunity for us. The door is open for us if we keep working. We will also make it.”
The matriculant achieved this milestone while juggling his football career with his final examinations. He said the club has been supportive throughout this period.
“I’m balancing; I have no choice because I’m passionate about football. I can’t leave it.”
PMYF U19 head coach Tshepo Boee said Booi had put in the work and demonstrated strong leadership qualities.
“I’m very happy for him first. He is a good boy; he deserves everything he wants. Very humble, works hard, trains regularly, and always wants to improve.”
Boee, who said it was his first time coaching in the league, described the season as challenging but said the team’s hard work had paid off.

“I’m happy for my boys; we struggled a lot. When I arrived, it was difficult, but with him pushing the players on my behalf sometimes, we got good results. That’s why we finished the league in the top eight, and we were number 18.
“So we worked hard to get where we are. It’s 110% from all the players that are in my team, and I congratulate them for the work done,” Boee explained.
The coach said the players would only have a short break before returning to training, emphasising the need to prepare for the 2027 season and strengthen the squad, as some players would be over 19.
“We must prepare the team that will play the league in 2027, now. We’re going to give them a break, a seven-day break, and then we restart so that we start early to prepare. If we don’t prepare early, we’re going to have a problem.”
