RELEBOHILE MOFOKENG’S MESSAGE TO RONWEN WILLIAMS
The ever-smiling Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng is just as warm off the field of play.
Soon before scoring two goals against Williams at the FNB Stadium last week, the 20-year-old Mofokeng sent the Sundowns star a message to check on his injury progress. “The slight injury that I had has done me wonders, and just receiving a message from Rele Mofokeng, of all people, messaging me, saying ‘skips, what’s going on, I see you’re not playing’, it just made me feel so happy,” Williams said via iDiski Times.
“I got goosebump when I saw him send me that message, and yet we were gonna come up against each other in a week’s time,” Williams said about the Orlando Pirates attacker. “So, it [the break] has done me wonders, honestly speaking. It refreshed me, it’s given me time to just sit back, missed a game and hopefully reenergised in this business end that’s coming up for club and country.
“I’m excited and looking forward to the big games coming up now,” Williams concluded.
HOW FAR WILL MOFOKENG PROGRESS IN HIS CAREER?
