Kaizer Chiefs have some serious young talent on their books, and Pitso Mosimane knows that better than most.
Pitso Mosimane’s son, Reatlegile, commonly known as Rea, is going on trial with Italian giants AS Roma.
Nine-year-old Ikenna Tladi, another South African wonderkid, has signed a seven-year deal with the club from the Italian capital.

Kaizer Chiefs starlet Mosimane earns a trial with Roma
14-year-old Reatlegile Mosimane has earned himself a trial at AS Roma. Known for being Pitso’s son, the young attacker plundered 38 goals last season. That earned him the top scorer award, as Chiefs won the Gauteng Development League U13 title. He hopes to follow in the footsteps of little-known Ikenna Tladi, the nine-year-old left-footed winger from Wolmaransstad who has signed terms with the Italian side.
“Ikenna Tladi (9 years old) has officially signed for AS Roma. We have also organised trials for Reatlegile Mosimane (Kaizer Chiefs under-14). Last month, he did well and the club is interested in signing him,” his agent Jorge Abong told KickOff.
“We have organised for Shamir Mattera from SuperSport, he is now invited to join the club for pre-season at the end of July. The scouts from Europe were here, and they were impressed with Tladi before he travelled to Italy with his mother to finalise the deal. He is now an AS Roma player.”
