ZASouth African footballer Relebohile Mofokeng has moved to Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, with former coach Pitso Mosimane endorsing the decision as a strategic choice for launching a European career. Mofokeng, aged 21, previously played for Orlando Pirates and has been recognized as one of South Africa's rising talents. Mosimane highlights Belgium's role in developing African footballers, citing examples like Percy Tau, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Youri Tielemans. He argues that Belgium provides a more accessible path to European leagues compared to stricter regulations in other countries like England. Mosimane encourages more South African players to explore opportunities in Belgium and Cyprus as alternatives to traditional European powerhouses.
