Orlando Pirates defender Thapelo Xoki on Mbekezeli Mbokazi's talent and future: He is one of the best and definitely one for the future

Mbekezeli Mbokazi must continue impressing in the MLS like he has done for Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana.

The left-footed defender must not slow down his game at Chicago fire.

This is the view of Mbokazi’s former team-mate at Orlando Pirates Thapelo Xoki.

“Hai TLB, he must just continue being TLB. One special talent and one for the ages, we’re all just supporting him from behind and praying that he uses this opportunity to elevate his career and help his family,” Xoki said at the Nedbank Cup draw.

“We’re just saying kudos to him and I’m sure the whole country is behind him, you have seen at AFCON – how he played and that can only elevate our national team. We hope he continues to be the TLB that we know and he improves.”

Xoki, like many local football followers, marveled at how Mbokazi’s career reached great heights in less than a year after his first team debut for Pirates.

The move to Chicago Fire became a stamp of approval of the impressive debut campaign the Bafana defender had in the PSL.
