According to iDiski Times, Hlongwane praised Kgositsile, saying the player is one of many talented youngsters in the Baroka side.
Hlongwane said:
“What I want for him is to be grounded, you look at Relebohile Mofokeng, I think he can learn a lot from him. Talent alone, you cannot do anything. I just wish they could remain humble and grounded while also respecting the game. The most important thing in this game is to be humble. I think if he can do that, he can do something for the country.”

Baroka wants a return to the PSL
While Mofokeng continues to impress Mzansi with his achievements both on and off the field, Baroka’s main aim is to return to the PSL after their relegation in 2022.
The side is currently seven points off second-placed Orbit College and 12 behind leaders Durban City as they push to replicate this season’s newcomers Magesi FC.
Following their Nedbank Cup exit, the side’s only focus this season will be promotion to the PSL and Hlongwane will be backing on players such as Kgositsile to achieve their goal.
