President Yama 2K Strikes Again: Mofokeng Delivers Another Special Performance Against Kenya

Relebohile Mofokeng Steals The Show Against Kenya As Bafana Star Scores Again In Dramatic Soweto Encounter

Relebohile Mofokeng has given South African football supporters another reason to celebrate after delivering a brilliant performance against Kenya in Friday night’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Orlando Amstel Arena.

The talented attacker found the back of the net in the second half, taking his international tally under Pitso Mosimane to three goals in two appearances. His contribution was one of the biggest talking points of an entertaining encounter that eventually ended in a disappointing 2–2 draw for Bafana Bafana.

Mofokeng’s performance attracted widespread attention, with the matchday announcement identifying him as the Man of the Match. The recognition would be another important milestone for a player whose reputation continues to grow both locally and internationally.

South Africa started the match positively and took the lead in the ninth minute after Kenya defender Amos Wanjala turned the ball into his own net.

However, the visitors refused to surrender and restored parity before the break when captain Michael Olunga converted a penalty following a handball decision involving Thabang Matuludi.

With the home supporters demanding a response, Mofokeng stepped forward in the 77th minute.

The attacker combined brilliantly with Lyle Foster before arriving inside the penalty area and guiding a composed finish into the top corner. It was a moment of quality that sent the Orlando crowd into celebration and appeared to put Bafana on course for another important victory.

Unfortunately, Kenya had the final say. Substitute Ryan Ogam scored a late equaliser to make it 2–2, denying South Africa all three points.

Mofokeng’s latest goal follows his outstanding brace against Eritrea in South Africa’s previous AFCON qualifier.

Scoring three times in two appearances under Mosimane is an encouraging achievement and highlights the attacker’s growing influence in the national team.

His contribution is particularly impressive because he offers more than goals. His close control, movement, creativity and ability to operate between defensive lines make him a difficult opponent to contain.

At club level, Mofokeng has also taken an important step in his career. After leaving Orlando Pirates, he joined Belgian champions Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in July 2026, where he has continued gaining valuable European experience.

His progress is attracting attention from supporters who believe he could become one of South Africa’s biggest football exports.

While Mofokeng deserves recognition, the result will leave Mosimane with several concerns.

Bafana missed opportunities to extend their advantage and ultimately paid the price for allowing Kenya to remain in the contest.

The draw ended South Africa’s winning start under Mosimane in his second spell and means the team must prepare carefully for the return encounter in Nairobi on Tuesday, 17 November.

Nevertheless, Mofokeng remains a major positive for the national team. His confidence and attacking contribution could prove crucial as South Africa continue their qualification campaign.
