Mbokazi, Sebelebele impress ahead of squad announcement
Cape Argus
|August 28, 2025
WHEN Mbekezeli Mbokazi was announced as one of the vice-captains at Orlando Pirates this season, there were mixed reactions to the appointment.
Some argued that the pressure of leading one of the biggest clubs in Africa would fast-track his development, while others feared it might weigh him down.
So far, so good.
Mbokazi has taken the responsibility on the chin, captaining the team in the last five games following an injury to Nkosinathi Sibisi.
The 19-year-old has led from the front with solid performances — including guiding newcomer Lebone Seema, who has stepped in for Sibisi.
Pirates remain unbeaten in their last four matches, with two wins in the Betway Premiership and two draws against Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTNS semifinal.
With Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos set to announce his final squad to face Lesotho and Nigeria in next month's World Cup qualifiers, Mbokazi is widely expected to make the cut. Broos handed him his international debut in a 2-0 friendly win over Mozambique at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane last month.
