Hugo Broos issues warning to Orlando Pirates star Mofokeng The hype train around 19-year-old Relebohile Mofokeng has gone into overdrive this week after his winning goal in the Nedbank Cup final against Sundowns. The teenager is also set for his Bafana Bafana debut against Nigeria next weekend, but national team coach Hugo Broos has urged calm.
“You see what happened with Mailula? He came into Toronto, and there were two former Italian internationals, and what are you going to do with a little guy from South Africa there?
