Kaizer Chiefs Legend States Qualities That Make Pirates’ Mbokazi Very Rare
Khumalo told the media that Mbekezeli has the potential to become one of the best, even though he hasn’t had many opportunities with the national team.
He explained: “So far, he’s only featured in the CAF Champions League or for Orlando Pirates, and now he’ll come up against seasoned European players. But what matters most is mentality — and Mbokazi has never stepped onto the pitch with a weak heart or mindset. He always wants to win, and players like that are rare.”
Khumalo added that Mbokazi is far from ordinary, pointing out his work ethic and consistency: “What sets him apart is his hard work, which is why I believe he’s among the best central defenders we have.”
He further praised the defender’s confidence: “I respect the experience of the players he’ll face, but what I like about him is his composure and courage to take them on. He has already faced top strikers in the PSL and kept them quiet, so why not on a bigger stage? At some point, we need to trust these young players, throw them into the deep end, and give them the platform to prove themselves.”
