Former Orlando Pirates winger Thabo Rakhale has shared his wisdom with three youngsters who have made significant contributions to the club’s success so far this season.
The Soweto giants have made a blistering start to the Betway Premiership season, winning all seven of their opening matches. This impressive run has seen them amass 21 points and establish themselves as early title contenders.
Adding to their success, the Buccaneers recently clinched their third consecutive MTN8 title, defeating Stellenbosch FC 3-1 in the final. This historic achievement has further boosted the team’s morale and confidence.
Several Pirates players have stepped up and delivered standout performances this season. Players such as Sipho Chaine, Thalente Mbatha, and Evidence Makgopa have all made significant contributions to the team’s success. The list also include the young trio of Thabiso Sesane, Mohau Nkota and Relebohile Mofokeng,

The dribbling wizard says Pirates stars Mofokeng, Nkota, and Sesane should just focus on their work. The Township Rollers attacker is happy that the coach Jose Riveiro is giving young talent an opportunity to play.
In the current season, all three players have had a fair chance to play. Already, Mofokeng has made 15 appearances in all competitions, scored four goals and provided five assists.
As for Nkota, the talented attacker has played six matches this season and scored two goals. Defender Sesane has made 16 appearances in the current season, helping Pirates to keep 10 clean sheets while providing two assists.
“To Rele, Nkota and Thabiso Sesane, my advice is they should stay humble, strive to be better than yesterday and always keep their feet on the ground,” Rakhale told FARPost.
“It’s so nice to see the young ones in a big team doing the most like they do. Already, they have shown the bravery side of them.
“I don’t see anything stopping them from reaching higher. They are doing well; the future looks bright for the team.”
