‘Mofokeng talks as if he is Messi but Chiefs won’t forget! It ends in tears’

Former Orlando Pirates attacker Relebohile Mofokeng recently sealed a move to Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on a four-year deal.

In his recent interview, he took a jibe at Bucs traditional rivals Kaizer Chiefs, jokingly stating the Glamour Boys ‘can breathe now that I am no longer there.’ However, his sentiments have not been taken lightly by Amakhosi supporters who feel the sentiments were misplaced.

Have a look at the arguments as compiled by Afrik-Foot.

I hope it won’t bite you one day

So he thinks that going to Belgium guarantees he will succeed. He is a small boy now, and he should focus on his new chapter in Belgium because two things will happen there, prosperity or failure –  Saul T Lehlagare Phokwane

The only people who got offended by this are people who already didn’t like Relebohile Mofokeng –  Thato Tj Ndlovu 

Thembinkosi Lorch was the one troubling Chiefs, not young Relebohile Mofokeng, but he should ask for advice from Sipho Mbule – Mthokozisi Msoul Mnguni 

Joke all you want, young Relebohile Mofokeng, I hope that won’t bite you one day. This is football – Bongani Taiza 

People don’t want to believe that Chiefs are the biggest team, whether you like it or not; some players even forget which team they are representing – Ps Mafilikana 

It was a joke, don’t take it personal

Kaizer Chiefs won’t forget that joke, we will be waiting for our turn to joke too, game on – Bongani Bright Bongs Nhlengethwa 

The boy was just kidding, but once a team or a player mocks Kaizer Chiefs, it ends in tears. Let’s watch and see – Mokgosi

It was just a joke, but anyway, they were scared of facing him. That’s why they were kicking him in the last derby – Tips Mo

Still in Siphesihle Ndlovu’s pocket, but talks as if he is Leo Messi. He must pray that they don’t loan him to Russia or Egypt – Cebo Mqoma

He was joking. I’m failing to understand why some of the people took this joke personal His mother also apologized on his behalf. I’m also apologizing on his behalf. Good people, please don’t take the joke personally, please, I believe it will end up demotivating the young man – Khaitsedi Ya Maleshoane
