Relebohile Mofokeng jokes about Kaizer Chiefs

During his speech, Mofokeng could not resist taking a playful swipe at Orlando Pirates' fiercest rivals.

"Kaizer Chiefs will now be able to rest now that I am leaving South Africa."

The comment drew laughter from those in attendance and highlighted the fierce rivalry between the Soweto giants.

Watch the clip below.

Social media reactions have been mixed;

@McD_Motsaafela:

"These days, some Kaizer Chiefs fans have very low self-esteem and get offended by everything. This was just a light-hearted moment from a talented young South African player. Now people are already talking about curses. That's ridiculous."

@doreh_012:

"He may have left, but the nightmares will still wear black and gold." 😂

Mofokeng regularly caused problems for Kaizer Chiefs during his time in the Betway Premiership, producing several memorable performances against Amakhosi and earning a reputation as one of the league's most exciting attacking players.

The winger now turns his full attention to life in Belgium, where he will begin pre-season with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise ahead of the new campaign.

His move marks another significant milestone for South African football, with many expecting the young star to continue his rapid development on the European stage.

Mofokeng’s performances for Bafana Bafana have also increased his profile, with his display in the 1-1 draw against Czechia impressing fans. Former Manchester United player Quinton Fortune was among those who noticed the youngster’s talent and urged him to pursue a move away from South Africa.
