💨 Abstract

Orlando Pirates defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi, 19, has been called up to Bafana Bafana's preliminary squad, attracting European interest. Known for his defensive skills and maturity, Mbokazi is seen as a potential European transfer. Club officials have blocked African offers, aiming for a move to a higher competitive level. His performance for Pirates in domestic and continental competitions has boosted his profile, though he missed an opportunity to impress African tournament scouts.
