Sono give Riveiro tips on Mofokeng

According to iDiskiTimes, Sono gave the Pirates coach some advice on how to manage Mofokeng's talent in a recent interview with the media.

The Buccaneers legend believes the youngster is highly talented and must be protected for him to reach his peak.

"To be honest, he is a highly talented kid and needs to be protected," the Orlando Pirates legend said.

"I think the coach at Pirates is doing a good job because twice I saw him pulling him off because the kid was starting to struggle, and a kid like that, the moment he starts to struggle, take him out; you're protecting him, you're building him."

Sono also mentioned Mofokeng's encounter with Thami Mkhize in the MTN8 tournament, and he's happy with how Riveiro is managing his talent this season so far.

"Mkhize was a bit stronger, physically he was a bit strong for Mofokeng to handle, even though he hit the back of the net with the ball that was played over him, but after that, he was unable to go past him; he was shoving him all over the place and tackling him.

"But he has a bright future [ahead of him] and needs to be protected properly."
