Mbokazi's MLS move marks a crucial step in his rising career
Cape Argus
|November 24, 2025
IT might not be one of the best leagues in the world, but Mbekezeli Mbokazi’s reported move to the Chicago Fire in MLS still augurs well for his career.
Mbokazi has carved out a reputation as one of the most rock-solid defenders in the PSL top flight. This is due to his maturity, composure on and off the ball, timeless tackles, and accurate passing.
His exploits haven't gone unnoticed. He has even caught the eye of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, who believes Mbokazi is one of the best defenders he has ever coached — and simply too good for the local league.
Broos has stressed that it will be important for the teenager to move overseas next season, as that will elevate his career to greater heights.
Christmas seems to have come early for both Broos and Mbokazi, as the Orlando Pirates defender was reportedly spotted in the US over the past weekend to put pen to paper at the Chicago Fire for a move valued at a reported R51 million.
