Relebohile Mofokeng Joins an Elite Group of PSL Stars

In the recent PSL Awards, former Orlando Pirates starlet Relebohile Mofokeng cemented his place among the league’s elite after completing an incredible awards sweep.

Mofokeng, affectionately known as “President Yama 2k,” walked away with Footballer of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season, and Young Player of the Season awards following a remarkable campaign with Pirates. He helped the Soweto giants to win the treble: the MTN8, the Carling Knockout, and the Betway Premiership.

Why the Footballer of the Season and Players’ Player Awards Matter

The Footballer of the Season award notices the PSL’s overs best performer based on performances throughout the campaign and it is voted by the coaches within the league. While the Players’ Player of the Season accolade carries unique prestige because it is voted on by fellow PSL players.

Winning both these awards in the same season is hugely regarded as the evidence that the player was the undisputed best in the league. Adding the Young Player of the Season award makes the achievement even more remarkable, showcasing excellence regardless of age.

Mofokeng Sets the Standard for the Next Generation

Mofokeng, 21, is still in the early stages of his career and has already achieved what many players spend their entire careers chasing. The Vaal-born player has hit the PSL ceiling after winning every trophy in the domestic league.

After sweeping the PSL’s biggest individual honours, expectations will be high as he continues his career in Belgium with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. His remarkable season will be remembered as one of the finest individual campaigns in recent PSL history.

Mofokeng’s Outstanding 2025/26 Season Stats

President Yama 2k had a slow start to the 2025/26 season, but he quickly picked himself up after a minor injury early last term. His performances throughout the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season justified his clean sweep at the PSL Awards. The Bafana Bafana player consistently delivered in the biggest matches, finishing the campaign as one of the league’s most productive attacking players.

Mofokeng also finished among the top assist providers in the league and was among the top goalscorers. His 18 direct goal involvements and league-leading chances created underlined his importance to Pirates’ attack throughout the campaign.

The 21-year-old has been named the face of the 2025/26 PSL season. His goals, assists and overall impact in games were admired by coaches, supporters and fellow players alike, and he won the three most sought-after individual awards in the league.
