Elias Mokwana opens up about possible Kaizer Chiefs move. Let’s find out what he thinks about Naturena.
Mokwana has taken North African football by storm since joining Esperance Sportive de Tunis. The Bafana Bafana winger has delivered standout performances, earning praise from fans and analysts alike. His exceptional displays have fuelled speculation about his future, with many wondering if he will eventually make his way to Kaizer Chiefs.
Before securing his move to Tunisia, Mokwana found himself at the centre of intense transfer rumours linking him to Kaizer Chiefs. The Soweto giants made their interest clear, and even the club’s Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr, confirmed that Chiefs had tabled an offer to Sekhukhune United. The proposed transfer, however, failed to materialize, forcing Mokwana to explore other opportunities. Despite this, he remains open to the idea of wearing the famous black and gold jersey in the future.
Mokwana’s dream to play for Chiefs
Mokwana shared his excitement when Chiefs approached him and revealed that playing for Amakhosi has been a lifelong dream. From a young age, he admired the club’s rich history, legendary players, and passionate fanbase. Watching Chiefs dominate South African football inspired him to one day be part of the team. When the club finally expressed interest, the moment felt surreal, reinforcing his belief that his childhood aspirations could still become a reality.
“Eish, this one’s going to put me in trouble,” Mokwana admitted, as quoted by iDiski Times.
“To tell you the truth, my father was an Orlando Pirates fan, and I was a Chiefs fan, now you can see.”
Will Mokwana join Chiefs in the future?
Despite his success at Esperance, Mokwana has not shut the door on a future move to Chiefs. He expressed his excitement when the club showed interest and made it clear that his dream remains alive.
“When they said (Kaizer) Chiefs wanted me, I was happy. Unfortunately, it never happened, but the dream is still there. In the future, I might go.”
What’s next for Mokwana?
Mokwana continues to shine in Tunisia, proving himself as one of Africa’s most promising footballers. Week after week, he delivers outstanding performances, cementing his place in Esperance’s starting lineup and catching the attention of scouts across the globe.
His skill, pace, and vision make him a key asset for his club, and his growth as a player remains evident. While his immediate focus stays on excelling in North Africa, the possibility of a move to Naturena still lingers. Chiefs supporters eagerly follow his journey, holding onto the hope that one day, he will bring his talent back to South Africa and fulfil his childhood dream of playing for Amakhosi.
