Kaizer Chiefs youngster explains the difference between him and Mofokeng

Kaizer Chiefs‘ youngster Wandile Duba has provided his self-assessment, comparing himself with Orlando Pirates’ teenage player Relebohile Mofokeng.

Duba(20) is only playing regularly for Amakhosi under new coach Nasreddine Nabi. Mofokeng on the other hand, is playing in his third season for the Buccaneers and has made over 50 appearances. At just 19, he has already secured two Nedbank Cup and two MTN8 winners’ medals.

Kaizer Chiefs’ Duba assesses Mofokeng

Duba has been a star for Amakhosi’s development team which saw him elevated to the first team last season. Due to changes in coaches, and structure, the 20-year-old has struggled to find his rhythm in the senior side.

“The difference between us is that I was playing in a struggling team while he was at a well-structured club with less pressure,” Duba said as per FARPost

“Pirates are doing well, so everything he does looks good. I’ve also had to deal with many coaching changes, whereas he’s had stability with one coach,” the Kaizer Chiefs star said on Mofokeng’s success.

Under Nasreddine Nabi, Duba has been deployed on the left wing. In the three matches he played so far this campaign, the youngster has proven to be a handful to many defenders.

“Coach Nabi has really changed my mentality and is helping me grow as a player,” Duba said. 

“I never thought I could play on the wing, but he saw my speed and intelligence and believed I could do it. I’m happy to play wherever the coach needs me.” 

Mofokeng and Kaizer Chiefs duo of Duba and Mfundo Vilakazi have been described by many as one of the best young players to play in the PSL in recent years.
