Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has heaped praise on Relebohile Mofokeng (right), saying the revived “President yama2K” could be the difference-maker in the Betway Premiership title race.
Mofokeng scored the winner for the Buccaneers in extra-time during the Carling Knockout final against Marumo Gallants at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium this past weekend.
Overall, the 21-year-old forward has recorded one goal and two assists in his last five appearances since coming back from an injury.
Ouaddou believes a fit Mofokeng can help his team win the league title this season.
Pirates are currently top the league standings with 28 points from 12 matches. They lead second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns by two points and have a game in hand over them.
