The clip, however, was filmed during his return to South Africa with the Bafana Bafana squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea at Orlando Stadium on 26 September.

That context added extra intrigue for supporters, who were drawn to what felt like a rare personal glimpse into life away from football for the rising star.

Mzansi reacts to the clip

Fans wasted no time sharing their thoughts, with reactions ranging from admiration to gentle ribbing about his performance against Guinea.

As seen in the clip below on X.

The playful jabs about his Guinea performance came despite Bafana claiming a 2-1 victory in the AFCON qualifier. Mofokeng had an early chance to score but was denied by Guinea goalkeeper Soumaila Sylla after being played through on goal.

He was substituted in the 82nd minute, and while he had good moments despite close marking throughout, some supporters could not resist linking the clip to his showing on the pitch. The identity of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Mofokeng remain unconfirmed.
