Orlando Pirates youngster Mbekezeli Mbokazi’s rise to stardom has been nothing short of spectacular.

The 19-year-old defender has been a standout performer for the Buccaneers in recent months.

In fact, he’s been Abdeslam Ouaddou’s trusted soldier this season, leading the backline like a seasoned campaigner for Orlando Pirates!

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has since weighed in on Mbekezeli Mbokazi’s impressive form.

According to the Belgium tactician, Mbokazi must spend this season at Orlando Pirates.

However, if he’s able to maintain his form throughout the season, then there’s no reason why he should remain in Africa next season!

“He (Mbokazi) is playing on a good team. He will play, I hope, and there will be a good battle to be champions between Mamelodi Sundowns, them (Orlando Pirates) and maybe Kaizer Chiefs” Hugo Broos said as quoted by KickOff.

“It will be good for him. But if he goes on like this, this is a guy who has to go to Europe. Certainly, with the skills he has, with the quality he has. He is a nice guy. He is very humble in the group. This is a guy who has to go to Europe next year.”
