Mahlangu hails Mofokeng
Mahlangu took to his official Instagram page to join the conversation around Mofokeng, and he started by praising the South African international while cautioning against the growing negativity among fans and urging the player to remain focused.
He highlighted how debates have become increasingly hostile, with fans resorting to insults rather than respectful discussion.
According to the Kaizer Chiefs legend, football rivalries in the past, between clubs like Pirates, Chiefs, Sundowns, and others, were passionate but rarely crossed into personal attacks.
Mahlangu sends a strong warning to Mofokeng
Mahlangu went on to send some word of encouragement to Mofokeng, while also urging him to aim higher than previous generations, insisting he can surpass former great players such as Steve Lekoelea.
He further advised Mofokeng to ignore comparisons and outside pressure, warning that such distractions could hinder his development.

Concluding his message, Mahlangu praised Mofokeng’s character and potential, stating that he has what it takes to become one of the best players not just in Africa, but globally. He also expressed his hopes for the youngster to remain injury-free, continue progressing, and eventually secure a move to European football, while wishing him success with both club and country.
Mofokeng tipped to win PSL big award
Briefly News also reported that Mofokeng has been tipped to win the Premier Soccer League Footballer of the Year award after his amazing performance for Orlando Pirates so far this season.
