Mbokazi, 20, has experienced a great first half at the Major Soccer League club since leaving Orlando Pirates in January.

The centre-back has also been named in the MLS All Star XI, where he will feature alongside stars such as Lionel Messi and Heung-min Son. He admitted that having a fellow South African at his club in Chicago has helped him in the early stages of his switch to the United States.

“Having Puso by my side and living with him since we got here has made a big difference,” He told the MLS media team.

“Being the first one to get here, it was hard. Puso being here really helped. Since we’re both from Mzansi, we’ve naturally grown very close.

“We know each other well and can talk about anything. We’re also the same age.”

Since losing to Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies in their debut season opener in May, Amakhosazana have picked up six wins in the Gauteng Sasol Women’s Provincial League log standings with 18 points.

“I am very pleased with the response from the players this weekend. To score nine goals across two matches while keeping a clean sheet against Mamelodi 11 Stars shows the growth within the group,” she told the club’s website.

“The players approached both games with the right attitude and worked hard for the six points.

“Reaching 18 points after nine games is encouraging, especially for a team that is still building.

“We have shown improvement in recent weeks, but we understand that there is still a long way to go in the season. The important thing is that the players remain focused an continue working hard everyday.”
