With the PSL season going on break, Mokoena supported a few families and also donated a football kit to Matswathaka Primary School to inspire young talent.

Having been scouted from Bodikela secondary school in Bethlehem at a very young age, he has become a very inspirational person of interest not only in his hometown but to those that get to watch him play.
“Home is where the heart is and it’s a huge privilege for me to be able to come back and inspire football talent. It’s my dream to see a lot of talent come out of my hometown, not only in football but other sports as well. I hope at some point when this pandemic settles down, a lot gets achieved through such initiatives,” said Mokoena.
“Furthermore, I would like to thank those that made this day possible, Puma for making sure the kids are kitted up nicely, Botshilo maize meal for food supplies as well as close associates Fana’s and Jimmy’s Ormonde.”
The Pretoria-based player also thanked those who were also doing the same for their communities.
Although Mokoena is back home with family, he might be needed next month as the SA u.23 face Japan in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games next month. If selected for the squad, he will be one of the over-age players.
Meanwhile, SuperSport United confirmed the departure of Evans Rusike and Lucky Mohomi.
Mohomi and Rusike helped Matsatsantsa to achieve the top eight finish this past season and won cup competitions respectively.
