Mbokazi makes strong case for Bafana berth

The Star

August 28, 2025

WHEN Mbekezeli Mbokazi was named as one of the vice-captains at Orlando Pirates this season, there were mixed reactions to the appointment.

- MIHLALI BALEKA

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 MTN8 semifinal.
