SEDIBENG.- South African young star Relebohile Mofokeng captured headlines once more after helping Royale Union Saint-Gilloise secure a commanding 5-0 victory over Lommel SK in the Belgian Pro League over the weekend.

After being left unused in the previous fixture, the Sharpeville-born Bafana Bafana talent surprised many by earning a spot in the starting line-up.

The young forward has rapidly become a darling among supporters.

Mofokeng quickly justified the decision by finding the back of the net just seven minutes into the match. He brilliantly finished a cross from the right, scoring to double his side’s lead and spark celebrations across the stadium.

Having spent most of his appearances coming off the bench since joining the club, the young forward has rapidly become a darling among supporters.

His matches regularly feature the South African flag flying proudly in the stands as he continues to win over football fans throughout the Belgian Pro League.

It proved to be an unforgettable night for his family back home, particularly his father, Sechaba Mofokeng, who took to social media to celebrate the standout performance with the message, “the journey continues.”

The family has famously supported Mofokeng since his childhood football days playing barefoot on the dusty pitches of Sharpeville. They never missed a game during his time with Orlando Pirates in South Africa and are now eagerly awaiting his return for Bafana Bafana’s upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea on September 23.

Following this stellar domestic display, Mofokeng is expected to retain his place in the starting line-up when Saint-Gilloise travel to face Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League on Thursday, offering him another massive stage to showcase his talent.
