The Mzansi fan said no before ranking the Bafana Bafana star as the best player in the South African league.

"No, No, Never; at this moment, Mofokeng is the best player in South Africa," he said.

Affirming his point about the Orlando Pirates youngster, the fan went on to compare him to the reigning best youngster in the world, Yamal.

He claimed the location is the only difference between the Barcelona star and Mofokeng.

"The difference between Rele Mofokeng and Lamine Yamal is the location," he added.

Mofokeng is three years older than Yamal and has been one of the best revelations in PSL history. The fan might have a point, as the Pirates star would have been rated higher if he had been playing in Europe.
